Anyone had a RAIC pass lately? Wait time?
Just wondering if anyone has had a new RAIC application lately (Last few months) and what the wait time was?
Cheers

Thanks. That's not bad, just did did it this week and was told it could be 12 weeks because of the holidays. I haven't been out of the country or have any work/living gaps however.

They told me 4-6 months for my initial application, but being born here and no questionable gaps makes that considerably shorter I think.

Just talked to a coworker who submitted the paperwork for a YYZ RAIC renewal in August and still waiting for his new RAIC. From past experience my company recommends starting the process in YYZ at least 6 months before your RAIC expires or you may end up with a yellow RAIC.
Re: Anyone had a RAIC pass lately? Wait time?
6 months? Really?
Longest wait I've had is two weeks. YYCs pass office won't even let you apply for renewal greater than 90 days in advance.

Took about 6 weeks out of the YYC office a couple months ago. That was with plenty of time out of the country, never having a RAIC, and lots of gaps in my history.

6 Months from CYWG, and the people there had to call in.
Re: Anyone had a RAIC pass lately? Wait time?
3 weeks in YWG recently, it was just a renewal though so that probably made it easier
Re: Anyone had a RAIC pass lately? Wait time?
YYC is around 3 months right now.DanWEC wrote:Just wondering if anyone has had a new RAIC application lately (Last few months) and what the wait time was?

Quick question, if you're renewing a RAIC are you required to provide the TSC & the RAIC Application on the first appointment, or just the TSC signed by your signing authority?
Also, does the YYZ Permit Office validate parking?
Thanks.

longer to get a raic nowadays than to screen a Syrian refugee!!
disgusting.

You mean longer than someone who is only crossing the national border and most of whom will be living with a sponsor family, have little to no belongings, and is fleeing civil war?
Compared with someone who might be applying for a job as a rampie, who has likely had a long, long time to culminate any nefarious designs and wants access to the airside of an airport?
I see your point, and I'm not going to get drawn into any debate on this can of worms. I think the 3 month processing time is a bag of donkey dicks but I'm not in love with the comparison.

I'll answer my own question for the next person that is curious. Just the TSC for the first appointment, and yes they will validate your parking.Whisperjet wrote:Quick question, if you're renewing a RAIC are you required to provide the TSC & the RAIC Application on the first appointment, or just the TSC signed by your signing authority?

Calgary actually puts an artificial expiry date on your raic (6 months prior to actual hard expiry). So when you go in you get a Red tag back as opposed to a yellow escort required. When your new pass comes in (renewed pass comes in 4-5 months later) you go pick it up and Bobno's your uncle!

I am at 7 months now. RIDICULOUS. I think its faster to clear a Syrian refugee...Black_Tusk wrote:I've been waiting 4 months in YUL. Nothing yet.
Re: Anyone had a RAIC pass lately? Wait time?
took me 4.5 month to get mine in yyt. Apparently they have a huge backlog right now, and expect for 3 month plus wait minimum.
