My current wait time in BC for standard PAL:
Nov 18th: 2018: took cfsc course
Nov 28, 2018: Mailed via Xpresspost to Miramichi with signature required
Dec 4, 2018: Arrives at Miramichi
Jan 9, 2019 : Credit card charged and Shows up Online "your application has completed initial processing. It is now in progress"
Jan 11, 2019: Called in to correct city of birth.
Feb 20, 2019: Still waiting :/
Dont worry I bet its nearly done processing. The correction on the city of birth definitely slowed it down but I bet its on its way soon. Did the BC cfo stamp your results before they were sent to Miramichi?
In BC the cfo doesnt stamp your results unlike Ontario. Here you do the test and you get your marks for the written and practical and mail them off.

After calling for months iv given up after the last guy on the phone said " I would be extremely surprised if you got it by next August ..."
