Followed the advice here, application received July 7th, issued August 2nd. Thanks everyone!
Yay finally got my RPAL today!
only took 75 days...
Call the CFC number and press 1 for English, then 2 to check on status and ask for BC CFO office.
If they refuse to transfer you (this can happen) you can try calling back and press 4 for transfers of firearms or 5 for ATTs and then you will go directly to the BC CFO office.
I don't know if they will hassle you for doing that or not.
Hours are from 9am local time for each prov. office, and for the CFC so if you live in BC you can only call the CFC in New Brunswick at 9 am Pacific time.

Application to upgrade from PAL to RPAL was received at CFC on Aug 3.
License approved and issued Aug 13 !
I followed the exact procedures that Calalta outlined, several polite calls and had the license approved in 10 days...pretty awesome
Thanks Calalta :D
Thank you to USPfan and calalta for replying to my post. I applied for my RPAL and PAL on 6/8/10. Received by CFC on 6/14/10. Had problem as did not send in RPAL test results as had not taken course yet and rec. back on 7/5/10. took challange for RPAL and passed on 7/27/10 and mailed back registed, express, insured on 7/28/10 with a certified copy of test results. CFC received on 8/3/10. Interveiwed on 8/9/10 with one reference interveiwed at the same time. they asked the reference if he thought I was safe to own a restricted firearm and how long he had known me. Application sent to Manitoba CFO 8/16/10. Now still waiting. Patience is sure a virtue that I am running short of.
Thanks again for your help!

IMO It is better to ask a stupid question and look stupid, than to make a stupid mistake and PROVE you are stupid!
Thanks for letting us know the progress for a Manitoba application. Every province is different.
As much as I like Alberta CFO, I think that New Brunswick is the fastest, they seem to have a good CFO and are 3 or 4 days faster each way due to faster mail service.
The worst of course is Notario.
Stay on top of the Man. CFO to get this finished.
