They don’t give a fuuuuuukk, ive been waiting since Feb 😂

I’ve even called a couple times to make sure everything is good… which I’ve been told A-ok… just to wait another 4 months with no progress. Idk how people are “calling and get approved the next day” but it hasn’t worked for me

Yeah same here all the way to them saying "everything is great!" Waiting since December. Contacting CFO has done nothing and contacting my representatives has done nothing. Apparently the Alberta CFO is quoting as high as 18 months

Wow, just got off phone since calling from 9am (130 now) and they told me if I don’t hear back by January then to call them so they can “assign it to an officer”
