Did you: 1. log into RCMP IWS to check status of your app?

  1. Did you pay by CC and was it charged?

Do #1, if you are not able to see the status of your app on IWS, I would suggest you call CFP and inquire about it.

I have called about 100 times in the last 3 months. Can’t get through to anyone. Also checked status online. It says they have reviewed it and will contact me if any info is missing (same status for months)

Did you call CFP or CFO ON? You won’t get through CFO ON unless you call at 7am and wait 2 hours until office is open.

Call CFP and inquire about if there is any missing or incorrect info, and politely ask if they know where the application is at in terms of progress, CFP is pretty good at letting you know. If it is at CFO ON and you haven’t heard anything, then contact your MP or MPP and get something going.
