I'm in the same boat man, people who've been charged in September already have their cards in hand. Unbelievable. I had my CC charged on August 13 and still in "initial review complete".

To make matters worse I finally was able to get ahold of the CFO today and was excited expecting them to approve it on the spot like so many others - instead the lady tells me "ya we have it here, everything looks normal, it just needs to be looked at and the background check to go through, the average wait is 9 months because of our backlog so you're still well behind that timeline, if it doesn't come back in 9 months then call again".

This is so F'n infuriating.

Oh no, sorry to hear that. What province?

once the rcmp makes sure everything is correct, they will then send your application to the cfo who will get a background check done and then review it. so you are still in the first steps of the application

initial complete means application was sent to CFO?

What I was told is that with certain applications are approved asap with no record and a good picture, and good references rcmp can actually approve a application but when having a past record
Rcmp has to pull hard background check then call references before it goes to cfo then it’s matter of waiting for the cfo it’s a pain in the ass
