If you are a new applicant and no information appears, then your application is still in process.
When does the processing time start?
Your processing time will start on the day FSRA receives your complete application and payment of fees.
When is the processing time completed?
Processing is complete once you have received an email advising your application has been approved.
When can I inquire about my application?
We cannot provide a timeframe for when your licence will be issued as each application is unique. There are many factors that may contribute to the processing time.
While many applications are processed quickly, others may require additional review or documentation, resulting in a longer turnaround time. If additional information is required, the licensing specialist assigned to your file will notify you by email. FSRA ensures all licensees adhere to all ongoing licensing requirements to maintain the licence.
