I saw this announcement (below) from Taekwondo Canada, saying that they are trying to speed up the processing of Kukkiwon applications. They say that it the past, Taekwondo Canada could take "months" to process the applications.
That is the key reason why at the last 2 clubs where I was a member, the KJN sent applications straight to "Korea" and did not follow the Taekwondo Canada's rule of having to go through them.
I thought you guys might find this interesting, even though few of you are in Canada.

Kukkiwon Application Update
July 9, 2015
Over the last few years, processing Kukkiwons applications has been a major challenge for Taekwondo Canada. There have been times that there have been backlogs that have stretched out over months. Given the concerns with these delays, from not only the public, but also from the staff and the board, we have worked hard to implement a new system in which to ensure that these certificates get processed quicker to better serve our community.
Previously, we have had to ensure, before sending the Kukkiwon, that applicants were registered participants, belonged to a registered club with a registered head instructor, and were a member of a member organization. The validation of all of this, along with the verification of all the submitted documentation, has greatly delayed some of these certificates date of issue.
Today, under the new Registered Participant policy, Taekwondo Canada will only have to validate the individuals’ registration (the applicant & the recommender) – not the club, the instructor and the province’s affiliation. In addition, we will be processing these applications even if there are issues with registrations – so the individuals can rectify while their Kukkiwons are being processed, intending to reduce any delays.
We would request that you give us until the end of August to catch up, process not only what we currently have but also the additional applications we receive daily, while implementing a new system. It is our sincere hope to have this up to date long before the end of August, but we ask that you are patient until then to allow us to properly implement the new system internally.
Please be aware that we receive a large volume of emails each day – over 100 -, on various topics and we will endeavour to respond to each an every email within three business days. With emails in regards to Kukkiwons, please give us a bit of time to get everything completed
Please follow the link below to view the current Application Process for Kukkiwon submissions. Taekwondo Canada encourages all recommenders to read over the instructions before submitting Kukkiwon applications.
