Yeah? I thought calling was frowned upon with how busy they are?

Gotta look out for #1 my friend.

People are salty because they think calling in is somehow making their transfers take longer but I doubt the phone agents are even the same people processing transfers.

I’ve called twice in the last 6 weeks. Don’t let some salty Redditors stop you.

If I can actually get through.

I've been on the phone for hours. Then again, that's sounds like the norm.

I’ve contacted the alberta CFO twice in the last 6 weeks and both times I got through in less than 35 minutes
