We have a Quetico reservation for June 18. My buddy just e-mailed me this:

"Canada called me today (3/24/2020) informing me that they are not accepting RABC requests at this time. They will hold on to my application until the injunction is over and not charge me $30 Canadian or not at all if it goes past June 1 which was my must have date. They requested that I inform them should we cancel our trip. Sooooo...there you have it."

Yeah, there are other people that have posted the same conundrum in the last week or two. Sorry to hear that. It’s a real bummer when you out time, effort, and money into planning and booking and then this happens. On the bright Sadie, you may end up having to switch to a BWCA trip if the RABC can’t get processed in time.

I've decided to skip my RABC this year. We won't be able to stop on Canadian islands for lunch when fishing Sag, but as long as the BWCA is open we can still do 95% of our planned trip.

I sent my application in about 5 weeks ago. Haven't herd anything yet

I received my RABC in the mail on March 24th. It sounds like I was one of the last ones to get one. But an RABC doesn't really help me if the border is still closed when my trip is scheduled. My trip to Quetico is first week of June.
