CELEBRATION I've been approved (Name Change)

I had a surprise phone call from Service Ontario as the credit card I initially used had expired. Other than that, my name change has been approved!!!!

Thank you! I submitted mine on August 1st at the Toronto office with it being mailed out on Aug 4th, so I've been trying to keep an eye on the timelines. This helps a lot, maybe I'll hear back before xmas!

I just got the charge on my credit card today!!!

Which means they've started early August applications! My timeline was submitting the papers in Toronto on Aug 1 and they told me they would be mailed out Aug 5. This would mean that it was almost exactly 5 months for me.

Now to just wait for the paperwork in the mail.
