    RPAL

    Feb 24 Sent in application registered mail signature required

    Feb 28 Application received but not signed for, so according to the tracking number it never arrived. After pulling my hair out trying to get answers from Canada Post for a month I cancelled my credit card fearing it would be compromised due to the lost application.

    April 2 As soon as Canada Post informed me it did arrive on time, I went online and it said they needed more information (new credit card number I assumed), I called, they took the new number, charged the card, and forwarded me to the person who did my interview, my two references called shortly after and did theirs, I called back and she said everything was in order and it would be going to the Alberta CFO.

    April 23 Licence issued

    PAL and RPAL mailed March 26, received and signed for March 27. Waited 4 weeks and tried to register on-line but was unable to. Called them spoke to Tony (very nice) he explained that they are very busy and to call back Friday afternoon to see if I am in the system. If I am they will do interviews then. Can't wait for Friday.

    Good observation, Oilersfan74.
    It was in the mailbox on the sunday April 20th. I assume it was there since the 17th of April. I was away from the afternoon of the 17th until the 20th of April. My guess is Miramichi is close to Fredericton so its faster arriving.
