How long are people waiting to hear back from Health Canada ?

Renewals are about 3-4 weeks so that's about when I booked my appointments at NHS beforehand.
My renewal took about 3-4weeks
Thanks guys, my registration certificate expires in February. Last year I did my renewal Nov 24th and didn't get it back until February 8th. Technically I was illegal for about 10 days. This will be my third renewal, every time they have wanted more information about where I live. It seems that they don't understand how a person could live outside of a town or city. (After growing up on a farm my whole life, I chose to live in a town for ten years, now I have my own acreage and I can't understand how a person would want to live inside of a town or city.) Anyways because of the Health Canada run around I decided to renew again early this year. My prescription is higher so I am looking forward to having more plants to grow.

At natural health services edmonton, they said because my prescription doubled I had to check off renewal and amendment. Last renewal I went from 3g/day to 4g/day and I didn't check off amendment and it still went through. The Bud Genius at NHS wrote on my form in blue pen and had me initial beside it. Do you think HC will make me redo the renewal? I'm pretty sure you can't just write on it except for where you signature belongs, but I could be wrong. I thought I was wrong one other time, but I was only mistaken.

It could be a reason for asking for something else....is it really that difficult to fill out the form?

Been waiting since July. Just got a letter from HC asking for proof of grow location (utility bill blah blah) I’ve definitely been flagged for something...I’m guessing my constant manager requests in MMAR, or 1st license being from Kammerman or the gold stars claim. No idea but I’m always dragged through the mud while the wife walks right through and has 3-4 week turn around.

If you don't grow more than 4 plants at a time are there any advantages to being registered through HC? Only thing I can think of is having documentation of being registered and maybe buying "legal" clones from an LP.

Yeah, are you living in a rural farm or acreage? I'm pretty sure everyone who does gets asked for more proof. Both times I renewed I had to email a picture of the electric bill.

No, I wouldn't register if I was going to only grow 4, I wanna grow 80+

I haven't purchased legal genetics and no one has kicked in my door yet

I'm tired of paying the clinic I go too $200 just for a piece of paper. They all seem to charge these days which in my view isn't ethical.

I'm lucky in a sense that my LP pushing clinic's appointments are paid by Alberta health care. I only have to pay $20 for registration certificate renewal once/year.

Get a Doctor to refer you to Canadian Cannabis Clinics ... I haven't paid a cent in over 2 years since I had to move my garden (not that I had to pay at all in over 9 years with a grow registration)
