Yesterday, I decided to call PEO just to check the status of my application. I know my 3 referees had received their questionnaires, filled them in, and sent them back. So, I have been checking the mail every day for the last week or so thinking that I could be receiving my P.Eng. any day now. So, I decided to call them just to see whether I could be expecting it soon or whether it would still be awhile.
Turns out, they are still waiting for one of my referees and I know that his questionnaire was mailed back on Feb. 8th. That was over 2 weeks ago, so they should have received it by now! So, it was either lost by Canada Post or PEO received it and it somehow did not make it into my file yet. I’m hoping it’s the latter. Otherwise, they will have to mail him another one and he’ll have to fill it out again and mail it back (since he didn’t take a copy of his completed questionnaire before mailing it back), which could take another couple of weeks. So, at this rate, I won’t likely hear back about whether I got my P.Eng. until mid-to late March at the earliest. Which is fine. I’ve been waiting for years to get my P.Eng., what’s another few weeks? It’s just annoying because I could have it already if that wasn’t lost in the mail!
I’m just really glad I called because I don’t know how long they would have waited for this before contacting me. Sheesh!

That sucks. Are you sure that your reference had the right address? Sometimes that can be an issue too. Stoopid mail. :(
I'm pretty sure the PEO had sent a self-addressed envelope, so all he had to do was fill out his questionnaire, put a stamp on it, and send it in.
My contact at the PEO is going to wait until she receives the mail today (you never know, Canada Post could just be really slow). If she doesn't receive it, then I guess she'll have to send him another one to fill out.
