Got my conditional approval today. Surprised me since it's Saturday. So I ended up coming in under the 51 day average wait showing when I applied. Unfortunately, here in Calgary, the wait for an interview is 3 months. First available was September 12, which is 2 days after we come back from the trip I was hoping to be able to use it on. Could go to Edmonton in late August, but it would be doubtful that the card would show up in time. If I really really really wanted to get it done, I could take a day off work and go to the Sweet Grass border crossing this upcoming week, but I don't exactly want to make that journey just for this, so I guess it'll be September.
