    References are contacted by the dfo before app is submitted to provincial normally. So it may still be at dfo or on its way now to provincial. May be mistaken but thats how mine worked.

    That sounds about right... Maybe your DFO lost the app on his desk... that would be terribly sad...

    Final Update... See details below.

    Renewal of competency for handgun, manually operated rifle & shotgun

    DFO: Brooklyn, Pretoria, Gauteng
    Submitted application to DFO: 08 Aug 2019
    Receiving attention from DFO: 08 Aug 2019 (sms received)
    At CFR: ???
    At CRC: 17 Sept 2019 (heard this during TC)
    In consideration: 04 Nov 2019 (was told that this part of the process can take 5-6 weeks)
    Approved: 19 December 2019 (informed by sms)
    Card Printed: ???
    Card Collected: 11/02/2020

    I really cannot understand why a simple renewal also falls into the same crazy-long waiting periods...

    ... And then the printing of the card at the Govt. Printers then took from 19/12 until this week (therefore a period of almost 8 weeks.... (yes, you read that right, EIGHT WEEKS), to print and get to the DFO and a total time of 6 months (yes, SIX MONTHS) from start to finish of the process.

    Yup, same here up in GP... 2 months to print the card and a total of 6 months from start to finish, and this was for a simple renewal of my Competency!

    I suspect that this is a deliberate ploy to slow things down and, IMHO, with the (hoped-for) intention that people then don't renew their licences in time.

    Refused : 12 Dec 2019

    On 23 Dec 209 went to my DFO for the refusal letter, they refused me as I did not attach my trade test result...... At this point I realised that they processed my application as a competency to do work as a Gunsmith and not as a competancy for a presonal firearm.

    Submmitted new application at DFO on 11 Feb 2020
    Receiving attention at DFO : 17 Feb 2020
