    28 days exact...well to be accepted. I got approved today, without anybody including myself being called, and it's being printed and shipped out. :D

    I may be noticing a trend.


    did either of you send it via a traceable method so you know exactly when it arrived there?

    No I didn't, which I'm starting to regret. I'm going to call back and hopefully speak to somebody else.

    Hey, mine is finally in the system. The thing is, they didn't ask me for my name so there's no way they could have dug mine out of the pile and moved it along. Is yours in the system yet?

    actually mine showed up today too

    They did ask me my info when I called but I dont think he did much with it. Guess I was just a day too impatient. From the date they have online as receiving my application its the mail I should be mad at anyways. Took them 12 days to put my info online.

    RCMP received my application on August 20th, my references and I were called a few days later, and "Your application has been processed and your licence has been issued" exactly on day 28 for my RPAL. As I said earlier in this thread, I am actually impressed with the RCMP on this one. I didn't have to call them once, although I'm sure this thread would really be quite helpful during the busy times of year.

    Thumbs up

    Thank you for an extremely helpful sticky Calalta.

    I did exactly as you described in your post.

    Turns out my application was fine, everything was complete and satisfactory and both my references had been called and interviewed. The RCMP had actually called a few times for the peronal interview with me at my home phone number but, due to work, I haven't been home much lately. THAT was the only thing missing. I did the quickie interview over the phone and in 5 minutes everything had been done and completed.

    Process - complete with one quick phonecall to their 1-800 number.

    Great info posted.
    It's an example of the great things that can come out of communal forums like this.
    Thanks for sharing.
    Thanks very much for the good gen.

    Cheers
