Looks like there's speed on the new licenses. Hopefully your license will be approved this year still🤞

New applications submitted this year do seem to be moving a bit quicker than what was happening the previous year. Fingers crossed for his app to be approved this year but highly unlikely. Now it seems the biggest delay is getting your application captured by your DFO

Just out of interest, does "Further" Competancy require character witness'/ statements & another spousal interview all over again ?

I just had them add there details on the application ... no interviews or phone calls and can't recall the dfo even saying it was necessary or looking if it was added ... I did add dedicated sports sertificate and comp for handgun and rifle

True I would not dare to even fantasize about the app being approved this year...I am mentally prepared for 5-6months so anything earlier is awesome but not expected.

Hope it will indeed move faster from here, I was thinking I should start buying some items like the safe and get it installed so I reduce the pressure later on
