Does anyone know the number for the BC CFO? I want to call to get my license number, if they'll even give it out. Darn I hate waiting for the mail.

Took the PAL and RPAL on June 21-22;
Received the paper work from the CFO on July 14;
I received a call from the CFC verifying my initials on my application on July 21;
I checked the site and it states that CFC received my application on July 21;
I called CFC on Aug 19 to determine if there's any missing information, they said I'm good to go, just need one reference to call in;
My reference didn't get to call in until Sept 3, interview went well;
I called CFC on Sep 4 to see if all is good, they said it has been electronically forwarded to the CFO for final background check;
Sep 8 morning, I called the CFO in Ontario and I left a message asking if there's any other info they needed;
I checked on line on Sep 8 during the afternoon and it states license has been issued!
Total days = 48 days.

I called CFC on Sep 9 to inquire about my license # - they happily gave it to me over the phone. I can't purchase any firearms until I receive the card. I asked if I can reserve a firearm with the number only, and the representative said it depends on the business.

CFC rep also told me that they print and mail out the cards every Thursday. Mine should be printed out tomorrow, and I should get it by EOW next week.
