I called them beginning of March to see if i need to do anythign else, and she said said that licence has been sent to... (i couldnt hear her properly, so i assumed she said provincial authority) and she said it usually takes them 4 to 6 weeks.

I called again mid April, and the lady said that something strange is going on, something on my application wasnt properly scanned, and she doesnt know why, and she put a note to scan it properly. She also said it is a good thing I called them. Who knows how long it would just stay there unscanned. Couple of days after that my application was approved.

So I guess the point is, call them once a month to see what's going in, just in case...

Did you call the RCMP number or the local CFO directly?

Has any early December applicants received their card in the mail yet?
It seems like a long time ago since being approved and no card yet?

Im with you. Mine was December 14, issued April 9th. I handled the 4 month application wait better than this day to day mailbox checking. I was hoping to see some people saying they got theirs as well.

Id say call and ask if they need any more info, the lady who handles general inquiries is super nice and helpful

Remember there are many covid issues slowing delivery, but yeah will be feeling the same pain soon.

Glad Im not the only one. I was issued April 12th, lets just say if it doesn't arrive tomorrow, there will be some choice phone calls Monday.
