Ah dam! Didn't think of that! They probably take a month off, or more #^%*.
They received mine Oct. 17, hope when all next week it'll be in the system lol guess I should start expecting having card in hand next year
Well I somehow don't think the peons will get a month off.. but they will get more than I do for sure
Time to pressure em to get it before xmas etc!!!!
Damn I need a range day!!
FWIW, they received mine in late August and I was approved this week. I think it could have been faster, but I was traveling for most of October and so I believe there was some lag time between when it was "in the system" and when I found out.
I say this because I called them on the 4th and found out it was in, did my phone interview right then. I called my two references and they both called in the next day for their interviews (the 5th). I called the office back on the 6th, and it has been approved on the 5th, same day as the references called. I'm just waiting for it to be printed and mailed now.
It takes them time to get it "fully in the system", but after it is, you can make the process much quicker by doing your interview and getting your references to call in.

The bolded part is of massive importance for this.. way back when I did this part.. I did mine.. had one of my ref's in the same room and just handed them the phone and had my other call in 20min later. shaved off a bunch of time so be sure you DO IT.

Once it's in the system, I'll be on them, calling every 3-4 days.
I'm hoping since I had a criminal and vulnerable record check done recently that it'll help with the process... Think I'll ask them if I should send them a copy when I fax my exam results in.
Hope ya make it to the range soon!

They won''t even bother looking at those.. they will do their own so don't waste your time.
As for range.. ME TOO!!! But that is a long complicated story to say the least. argh
Hahaha true say! I called on Tuesday and the lady told me to call back at the end of next week so she can update my status.
Like you said, I might get lucky and get it in December. (or at the end of November, I hope) The only thing I need now is my license number so I can order my my very first rifle online: Ruger 10/22 Stainless!- Location

Wise decision IMO
And once you have yours who knows.. maybe we'll meet for a range day since you're also in Bantario.

There won't be a # for you til it's "issued" and then the CFC cannot give that to you.. but the CFO can but can be #####y about it for as usual a retarded non-sensical reason.

Possibly.. I never checked that way personally since mine was done long before the "new" website etc.. but I'm pretty sure some others on here have and will chime in with the facts on that.
I'm just curious about what people (in Ontario) are talking about when they say their application was sent to the CFO after the interview process and theyre still waiting
I live in Ontario and I was under the impression that since the CFO gets our course results before we do, and mails them back to us, that they don't have to do a final approval on our license.
I know my license status changed to issued online right after my last reference did their interview. I thought this was the case for all those in Ontario. Am I wrong? Was that abnormal?
