It looks like my CC got charged on Sept 15th. Timeline-wise (for BC anyways) how long til it gets approved and how do I check?

I tried logging into the CFP Individual Web Services and it's not accepting my login details (in License Applicant--says "We do not have any information that matches this data"). Should I call the BC CFO?

Usually around 3 months from date of cc charge.

If it's around that 3 month mark then sure, otherwise I'd hold off on calling. System might just be having some issues currently.

It takes 3 months after being charged for approval? :O

Yes, average seems to be 3 months to CC charge and then 3 more to approval.

Best of luck

Oof...I probably shouldn't hold out hope I'll still be able to get handguns then

At this point, correct.
