Shorten PAL Approval Times

[Sveinn84]

Yes both PAL and RPAL

I'm at 78 days since they received it. Apparently it didn't get the the CFO until June 28th. That is their justification. They told me to call in 3 weeks, I called in two. They then told me to call in a week, which is next week. The lady said she'd send an email to the SK CFO, and ask him to look at it. So it seems hopeful, but who knows.

I'd call and talk to the CFO myself. 78 days is ridiculous.

Good luck and I hope next week you will get approved.

The number I found redirects to the CFC. The lady confirmed that is the case. They take the calls. She can transfer me, but not until the 90 day mark. She was nice, and helpful. It is what it is. Trying to force this process is a waste of energy. Being persistant certainly helps.

Four months and counting...they didn't like my picture so I guess that put me in the slow pile. I'm (trying) to upgrade from a POL to a PAL. I initially got misinformation from the RCMP about what information was required. They stated on the phone that "...this is basically being treated like a renewal...so new references would not be required." That turned out to be incorrect - they want references again to go from a POL to a PAL. That likely put me to the bottom of the pile again.

I'm waiting for them to find another missing flyspeck. One would think the POL - PAL upgrade could be streamlined a little as clearly the applicant has been a firearms owner for several years, they have already spoken to references about your character. You send them the documents stating you passed a safety course...So rubberstamp PAL -what's the problem?
