Well fellas It’s not looking like I’ll get a pal I’m so disappointed They said if I’ve waited 7 months and I can’t even see my application progress wen I type in my name and city of birth , then there’s a reason to be concerned. So I guess they just decided I wasent a good fit …. Guess I’m an archer now

E-mail them, fax them, call your MP. You’re legally entitled either to have your application approved or to be provided written reasons for refusal (in which case you’re entitled to appeal the decision). I know it’s frustrating, and maybe you’re joking a bit when you say that you’ve given up, but stay on them.

If you were denied you'd be notified. If there's nothing online they lost your application. Resend it

If you don’t care one way or the other then why bother?

Why wouldn't you be a good fit if you don't mind me asking? It actually takes a lot to be denied a license and if you checked any boxes, you are going to wait a year plus.

If you aren't even in the system, then maybe there was some sort of fuck up.

Then there's absolutely no reason for them to find you unfit out of nowhere like that.

Did you send it via registered mail? Might have just gotten lost by Canada Post if you sent it regular lettermail.

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '22

I put it in the mail box slit

u/chowdowncowtown Oct 13 '22

Sounds like it's been lost if they've got nothing after 7 months. I'd recommend re-sending and paying the extra ten bucks to do registered mail so you can confirm it's actually been delivered and signed for.
