So I’m In Alberta, I had my cc payment come out 3 weeks ago and the initial review is complete. My references still haven’t gotten a call. Should I call the CFO and see what’s up? Or should I wait a week and if nothing happens then call? They received my application almost 3 months ago.

As others said, my refs never got called. I think due to volume of license requests, they only call references at random/if you get flagged for some reason.
