God**** I am hitting roadblocks every step of the way.
I finally got my birth certificate at the beginning of April, and the very same day, was up at the CFRC handing in my application. The next day I got the call for my CFAT/PT test scheduling, and booked it for 19 April. She said I needed to bring photo ID to the test (which I didn‘t have) but I figured I could just go down to the Licencing place and get my G1 (living in the city, I never needed a car before, so I never got it till just now).
So I took the easy licencing test, and the woman said I passed and my photo licence would be mailed to me within 3 weeks.
Waiting waiting waiting, it did not come by the 19th so I called and rescheduled for May 2, and confirmed that I did indeed need a photo ID issued by the government.
I waited some more, then after 3 weeks I called the licencing place and they said it would in fact take 10 **** WEEKS for them to send me my licence, which would be some time around June. They said they had told the people at the licencing office to stop saying it would take 3 weeks, because it is a lie.
I do not want to wait till June, so I called the health card place and told them I "lost" my health card and would need a new one with a photo ID (my current health card is the old red and white one). They said I could come in and get it taken and stuff but it would take 6 **** WEEKS for them to mail it to me. So it would arrive mid June as well, counting from tomorrow when I can go up and get it.
I realize I will probably have to call back the CFRC AGAIN to change my testing date to mid June and I am not looking forward to doing that again. I really want to get a bloody move on. I absolutely hate waiting, but I have to stick it out because I simply must get in to the Army no matter what stupid burocratic bullshit tries to stops me.
So my question is this: does anyone know of any other government issued ID cards that I could get and that they would accept at the CFRC? I have read about an "age of majority card" you can get from the LCBO, but you need to be 19, which I wont be until 24 May, so it won‘t help me right now. And knowing this government it will probably take a few hundred weeks for them to give it to me.
Is there any hope that I could explain my situation and they would understand? Am I just screwed and I now have to wait until ****ing June to take my tests?
As I said, I will wait however long I have to, but god**** do I hate waiting, and I have already been waiting to get going for over a bloody year...
And sorry for all the *‘s but the inefficiency of the provincial government demonstrated to me over the past year has made me extremely angry with them. And all the bullscheiße excuses they give me of why it takes so long...(The now liberal government blames it on cutbacks given by the tories, to which I respond "Why dont you guys ****ing fix it instead of just complaining about the people who arent even in power anymore!!???")
So yeah if anyone has any advice, it would be much appreciated.
