I feel like they are slowing the process on purpose. The duration of time that has passed from the time I completed my CFSC/CRFSC until now which is “initial review completed” message is really absurd. And it’s sad there’s no recourse, they can just make us wait and wait and wait. Ontario CFO

Maybe, but sharply increasing wait times is what happens when queues get overloaded. Understaffed, high volume, no business pressure to improve... it's the recipe for slow service times.
