I keep trying to get ahold of Alberta CFO seems they always closed. Just annoying as hell. RCMP website says initial review bullshit and that’s it. They’ve had it since May. Never heard of this possible issue until now. Never had problem with Visa debit but could be issue. Thanks for the tip.

It took 2 days to talk and get my consent form to my local mp. It took them less than 24h after getting my consent form to contact ONTARIOS cfo and then also him calling me before his shift ended to get me all info all at once and was super polite and helpful. These conservative mps are a differnet breed of politicians theyre fricken super efficient.. or at least my mp was she's a gem! Me either with the debit cc thing.

Agreed I'm with TD if you are too that makes sense and they even said they don't know why it failed. Meh it's worth the extra cash just to see what comes first.. wait a week and email your local MP just as a precaution. Might get charged twice or you might not either way I guarantee it will work faster with my suggestion
