If this is how the dealership treats you now, chances are things won't improve. Get your deposit and move on to a reputable dealer. I understand you don't want to wait longer then you need to for the car but do you really want to continue doing business with this dealership? If you can't find a dealer in N.B. that is getting a decent amount of cars in their allocation, look outside the province.
i have been screwed by my dealer !!!

Yes i want that car so much I sold my Porsche 2 year ago for that car, the dealer don’t know nothing when I ask question and lies to me, a lot of person around here don’t like that dealership, the salesman prefer watching YouTube when they work that informing about their car when a client ask a question

that what im trying to do but now the other dealer tell me they have a waiting list for 2022, or maybe it will change with the number of allocation they will receive
Do what I did and find a reputable dealer elsewhere and increase your search radius. My dealer was a province away in Quebec City and I live in Niagara. If I were to buy a C8 again, I would have no problem looking the next province over or more for that vehicle and taking a flight down, as we did. Nothing better than having a 9 hour drive or longer in your brand new car.
Remember reviews are a powerful tool. I don't think many check BBB which is essentially a paywall but people do check Google and FB not to mention online reputation is a tangible commodity these days.

It looks like "kevindesj" is from Quebec but currently "trapped" in New Brunswick due to COVID. Perhaps the best thing would be to find out which car dealers in Quebec typically order in a lot of Corvettes...or even a dealer in Ontario if it will improve the chances of "kevindesj" getting a C8 sooner and he doesn't mind the drive. I know that's how I was able to get my C8 allocation: I found a dealer in Calgary (3 hour drive from me) who bought LOTS of corvettes so it also received a large allocation of C8's. An increased dealership allocation improves your chance of getting a C8.
Perhaps we can find one from Montreal and another from Quebec City ("Allflash" mentions using a dealer in Quebec City): does anyone have any Quebec dealer recommendations for "kevindesj"?
We know there are 3 good Ontario Chev dealers who are sponsors on this Forum: Wilson-Niblett in Richmond Hill (Jeff Moore), Finch Chev in London (Morgan) and Bill Spencer Chev in Cobourg (Eric Jean) so "kevindesj" can contact any of them to see about getting a C8 and how long it might take.
Whatever happens, "kevindesj" definitely needs to find another dealership...not only to order a C8 but also to have warranty work done on any vehicle.

Yes I truly believe you want a C8. I was contacted by a dealership in Quebec that had the exact new ZR1 I wanted down to the color a while back who insisted they would not mark up the price. The car would be mine today but unfortunately, it had the A8 instead of the M7 so I passed.
These guys seemed good with lots of allocations.
It’s a shame what happened. But I am going to say something that may twist some knickers. Let it go.....Its a car....Life is too short to spend the next six months “lawyering up” over a crappy deal with a car salesman. Get your deposit back, go have a beer, find a better dealer. Glass half full, you likely have a job, likely did not get the Covid, likely haven't got caught up in looting and riots, and likely know where you will eat and sleep tonight.
Voice of experience here, as hanging onto these issues is a soul sucking waste of the short time we have been given.

hi, i still have my deposit at the dealer but i give a deposit at the same dealership as you, i will be in Moncton july 12 so i will go see the Danny at Lounsbury e look like a good guy
Just curious Kevin but if I remember correctly, you told us a couple months ago that you had deposits down at five different dealerships and was ranked No, 1, 2, 8, 9 and 18 respectively. Were none of these dealers able to come through for you?

i put one deposit in 2019, and all the other deposit was in march because the first dealer only received one allocation for 2020 so maybe they will only received one in 2021 so that why i put more deposit this year to have more chance on my sideNope not crazy at all. Keep going your dream will come true.
What we have here is a complete failure to communicate.
From the OP's broken English, guessing that did not help.
You should have put everything in writing, at the minimum via email, to have any recourse.
And kept a chronological list of discussions and events. Highly doubt you did.
In the end, it was likely both parties fault, and I strike the gavel. Done.
Sorry to hear about your loss, and long wait.

Well there you have it. The Carbuff has spoken.....I can finally sleep.
We have latitude in Canada for someone who's first language is French. Much like the latitude we give someone who's first language is granola. Nuff said.
I agree Rruuff Day, because we all speak different languages.
The takeaway for everyone is to put everything in writing, irrespective of what you speak, even Klingon.
So problems like this do not happen.
That is what I was trying to convey.
