Aug. 22nd (Friday@3:48PM), Application received in MIRAMICHI.
Sept 17th, credit card charged.
Sept 18th, I called and asked for fax number to fax my course certificate, faxed the same day.
Sept 25th, I called to make sure they got my fax, the did and they said to either have one of my two references call in or they will call them in 4 to 6 weeks! I asked if they want to interview me and they said no, you are good (Note: about a month ago I did a high level security clearance with the RCMP for a project I'm working on, so not sure if this had to do anything with not interviewing!).
Sept. 26th, My reference called them, they asked him two questions, "name & address" and "If there any reason for concern that Mr. ### having a firearm".
Oct. 2nd, Licenses received in the mail.
That's pretty much it, it was a painless process, I'm actually quite surprised of them not interviewing me and only needing one of my two references. Both RCMP representatives on the phone were extremely friendly and pleasant.Ttotal of 39 days for license delivered to my door.
