I used Mastercard so I should be good. I’m still waiting for my new card to come in so I used my mothers, does that make a difference? We both have the same last name so I don’t see why that would be.

Well then I guess I’ll have to play the waiting game. Do you also know how long it will take before I can check my application status?

I got ahold of the RCMP regarding this about 2 weeks ago. They told me expect 7-8 weeks minimum before I see status online.

3 months until it shows up online, than another 1-3 months for approval.
