Credit Card charged November 28th
Its now May 13, 2019 and my application still hasn't been approved. 7 months after taking my money, I'm still waiting
I've been calling every 2 weeks, both the CFC toll free number, and directly to the BC CFO's office. Every time I call in I usually get the same response, that its being processed by a colleague in the office and that there is no ETA on completion.
On one occasion I have talked to a nice lady who informed me that she was surprised my application hadn't been approved yet, and that she will attach a note on the file to attempt to get it moving - however, that was 2 months ago and since I'm hear looking for advice I'm sure you can imagine that didn't work.
I asked if there was anybody I could complain to - maybe an ombudsmen or something and I was told to contact my elected official, when I asked if I contact a federal or provincial official, I got the reply "I dont know, either, have a nice day" *click*
I dont have a criminal record, and am baffled as to why my application appears to be dead in the water with no updates. I've confirmed that there is nothing missing in my application.. I'm not sure what to do - a 7 month wait is getting a little ridiculous. Any help/advice would be appreciated.
