Is it impossible to get a hold of the RCMP CFP via phone? I've been trying all day and no luck at all. In hold a few times and it hangs up. I am trying to figure out my application since it's been in the same state for over 6 weeks and also update my address since I moved since I submitted it back in April.

Surely they need to hire more reps if I can't even get a hold of them in a day of constant trying. I stopped for 30 minutes for a meeting and some coffee breaks but otherwise been trying as much as I can. Phone shows pver 30 calls today alone...

Rant over... Anyone have suggestions on how to get a hold of them?

It took me 3 and a half weeks to finally get through to confirm a private sale.
