Do while Powershell issue

I am trying to build a script that creates the AD user and than assigns it an o365 license. I currently have the script that creates a user in exchange and AD no problem. however the server syncs up every 15 minutes to bring over the users credentials to the o365 client. This is where I have created the do while statement that is supposed to wait till it finds the mailbox in o365 than assign the license. However the script hangs and never finds the user even after i am able to locate the user in the o365 GUI. Am i doing something wrong?

$identAlias is set to being the "first name"+"."+"lastname". so it would be like Steve.richard

$Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential($User,(ConvertTo-SecureString $Pass -AsPlainText -Force))
Import-Module MSOnline
Connect-MsolService -Credential $Cred
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $Cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $Session

do {
    sleep -seconds 1
    $mailboxExists = get-mailboxpermission -Alias $identAlias -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |fw IsValid
    write-host "." -nonewline
} while (!$mailboxExists)

Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName ($OnMicro + ".onmicrosoft.com") -AddLicenses company:ENTERPRISEPACK

The main issue is that Get-MailboxPermission does not have the -Alias parameter.
Use -Identity instead.

-Identity <MailboxIdParameter>
The Identity parameter identifies the mailbox. You can use one of the following values:
* GUID
* ADObjectID
* Distinguished name (DN)
* Domain\Account
* User principal name (UPN)
* LegacyExchangeDN
* SmtpAddress
* Alias
