i know..... i had been following this thread since i did my safety course in feb and i told myself if i got my license by nov id be happy but did not expect this to be so fast. Hopefully this speed will be the norm for everyone going forward!

Personally i was hoping it wouldnt be so fast, now i got the brotherhood sending me all types of things i "should" buy lol Gee, i tell one person i got approve in my group and it spreads like fire lol

Congrats! Where did you find the provincial cfo number? I’m in Alberta and want to try giving that a shot.

I'm excited, I was kind of expecting it late May early June, but then I looked on here and i got to thinking way longer than that lol. My dad applied from BC and his CC was charged on the same day but it still shows as processing online. I can't imagine the CFO in Quebec being too busy as all the courses have been shut down for a year now. I had to take the two courses when I was in BC this Xmas, but unfortunately I can't take my loi 9 so no restricted for a while. AND THEY SAY GETTING A FIREARM IS TOO EASYYYY...

Under two months?! That’s INSANE. World record. lol
 
If anyone is wondering how long a new picture processing is, they received it on the 28th of last month. Still haven't processed it:( will update when things change

Best is to go to a place which knows the requirements for pictures, we went to Walmart. Sure you could do it at home but WM is a safe bet. I think it was like $13.

Hindsight is 20/20 for sure. Definitely not worth waiting months longer to save a few bucks. But I was very careful when I produced my own photo. It was the unspecified photo paper requirement that got me. Thus I’m still waiting many months later.
