    Hey @Ryoung this is an interesting story. I know of two people who are waiting 7-8 months now with no updates other than "the application is sitting with the CFO for further review". I wonder if mentioning that being advised to perform a "writ of mandamus" would put them into gear to expedite the application? It seemed to work in your case?

I told here I've been waiting for almost 2 years. She asked if there was anything that would be of concern?
    The correct answer to that question is YES, I HAVE BEEN WAITING TWO YEARS FOR MY APPLICATION TO BE PROCESSED, and YOU ARE THE ONE PROCESSING THE APPLICATION, DO YOU SEE ANTHING IN THE APPLICATION THAT IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN THE HOLD UP?

    Enquire into what data Rcmp has on you.

    Took me 9 months to get mine. Interesting, but mostly underwhelming. Like when they redacted parts of the license application that I filled out because I wasn't entitled to possess information that I had provided to THEM.
