I can confirm that I called the direct number provided earlier in this thread (204) 984-0715 and after a 30 minute hold in queue I spoke with the office of the CFO for Manitoba, she was very helpful and verified the transfer was pending, said she would see if this is something she could review and put me on a 10 min hold, came back on the line and said she approved it and to check my email which contained the approval notification. This was at 15 days since it was sent to them for approval (Private MB to Private MB) so it appears they ‘may’ assist you if you call, very pleased.
