My most recent one which was approved early july was 120+ working days and it went backwards and forwards between 'in preparation' and 'for consideration' for a period of at least a month. I get the feeling they are throttling on purpose.
Did you see what those office look like. Photos from when the Parliament Standing Committee visited the CFR. My best so far has been three hunting gun renewals when to took exactly 2 weeks till approval and then 2 months for the licenses to arrive. Worst was almost a year. Missed 2 hunting season with it - first an refusal and then the wait for the 2nd time around.
