What I have read in a few posts is that their case was moved forward to an earlier month’s board meeting, which is why they received the decision sometime in the same month as the "case to board". However, there is no way to know exactly when the board meeting will take place. It’s possible that the meeting occurs at the beginning of the month, and we may receive a favorable decision shortly afterward. These are all assumptions based on previous trends. For now, all we can do is wait and hope for the best.
Your online account is updated in real time if the board meeting decision is positive. It should show P.Eng instead of applicant. if the decision is to defer then you will get an email in the 1st week of next month of the board meeting.
