Dude, I'm also in Ontario, mine was received by them in May, my CC was charged and it's been in "initial review complete" stage since August 13. Still nothing.
I thought I would get it by September for sure like all these other people who had their CC charged way after me. I called, I emailed. Both times I was told very curtly "it's a 9 month wait, you're well under that, call us after 9 months".
Literally zero hope. I watched; in anticipation of getting a handgun, the dwindling inventories, watched them get into the low single digits to being sold out basically everywhere. Watched as I reluctantly lowered my standards to basically anything left on the shelf. Watched as other people with a CC charged in friggin September get their card in their hand already and purchasing the last few remaining guns.
To say this is incredibly frustrating and disheartening is an understatement.
And just for clarity, all my answers were No's and I have a clean criminal record. I can't imagine why it's taking this long. Maybe because I was born in another country? Even though I've lived here since I was 8 and I'm 33.
I don't know man, I'm sick of this garbage. Maybe I'll get it in the new year when all firearms will be banned by then knowing this government....
