I'm happy for you, but this is F'n ridiculous, my application was received in May, CC charged on August 13, I still don't have it, just "initial review complete".

I'm also in Ontario and my application was all No's.

How are people further back in the line getting approved and I'm still waiting and watching the dwindling inventories disappear. So goddamn frustrating and infuriating.

But I'm happy for you man, enjoy it.

Crazy, sorry to hear that! I’m shocked it was approved so quickly based on all the stories posted. This application was for an 18yo with all no’s. We had/have a plan B (crossbow) if the license doesn’t arrived before Nov. Fingers crossed it actually arrives in the mail.

That's awesome man, enjoy it and grab what you can in the meantime. I think you can order with just your # without having to wait for it to come in the mail.
