I’ve heard of some people using text plus or other “random number” services that put your number in a different province and they call the according provinces CFO in THEIR time zone. Not sure how that would work though but maybe something to look into

Remember, the CC charged indicates the process has started. If your application was more complicated than most, it will take longer, and possibly much longer.
