I am impressed with how fast it went. I'm not sure if the phone call had anything to do with it or just coincidence but a few hours after the call the status changed to licence issued. My reference also answered the phone on CFCs first try. They also told me that each provincial CFO is free to scrutinize your application as they wish there is no standard.

I emailed them last night and got a response this morning. Approved and should be to you in 4 weeks! Oh ya!
 
They received my application on Nov 2nd. On the 25th I still wasn't processing but needed to change my credit card info. They said they couldn't until processing started. Later that afternoon it stated processing. I had my reference call. They only asked from one and they charged my credit card. I find it strange though that they said I didn't need an interview and only one reference needed to call. I am applying for a RPAL has anyone else had a similar experience
