That is very unfortunate.
Its for RPAL?
day 139 and still no license. rpal. weekley calls and letters to mp with no response.
RPAL yes, I called them up on Friday, and they approved my application on the spot! :-)
I posted this in another thread, but it may be more appropriate to post it here, as well:
Just for reference, my PAL/RPAL experience:
July 8/9, 2016 - Took the CFSC/CRSFC course, passed practical and written
Aug 29, 2016 - Received a copy of my stamped test results. This was by far the longest part of the process, at least it felt like it; waiting for the results everyday. The CFO's office also started a new process where they are emailing results. In all honesty the email looks like spam. The sender is "Photocopy Room" and the email title is "Copy of paperwork." Luckily one of my buddies opened the email with his results and realized what it was, otherwise I might've deleted it as spam. So to those reading this post, be careful! Don't accidentally delete your results. I made the suggestion to the CFO's office to make it look less like spam, but not sure if they've changed it since. Curiously enough, about a week ago I received a physical copy of my stamped test results in the mail (already had my licence by this time).
Sept 27, 2016 - Mailed my application in by priority mail (tracked). I know, I sat on it for some time.
Sept 29, 2016 - Received in Miramichi
Oct 13, 2016 - Payment Processed
Oct 19, 2016 - Reference was contacted, but he was on holidays overseas! Had my friend been here I would have likely received my licence within 2 weeks from Oct 19. The kicker about this is that I was also my buddy's reference as well, I answered when they called, so when he came back from holiday (Nov 4th) his licence was sitting in his mailbox. I got my licence with two other buddies and the RCMP only chose to call one reference for each of us.
Nov 4, 2016 - My buddy contacts the RCMP upon his return.
Nov 15, 2016 - Licence received. ALL DONE!
As I went through this process I found it useful to go through these forums and read about these timelines, so I thought I'd share my experience.
I sat on my application for a month, so all in all, it was a pretty quick process. Some people suggest mailing in your application before you receive your stamped results so that you can start that 28 day timer, but in my case it was close to 2 months until I received my stamped results back; so Miramichi could be sitting on your app for some time. Nonetheless, the path is yours to take!
Good luck to those reading this post and on their way to getting their licence.
Took my course Oct 29/30. Registered mail to Miramichi was received on November 4th. CC charged on the 17th.
Called in today (Nov 24th), they said they needed 1 of my references to call, gave me the extension and file number. My reference called in at noonish, I called back at 4 to see what the next step was and was informed it had been approved. My 28 day waiting period is up on the 2nd of December so they said they would mail it out then.
Definitely worth calling in! Both people I spoke with today were happy to help and talk to me on the phone.
Looks like I'll be getting an early Christmas present this year

Did the course July 30th in the Toronto area, still haven't got the papers or an email. I contacted the FSESO by email and got a response on October 3rd that they were processing July tests. Unbelievable how long it is taking.
You should really call them again. This post here (http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum...ocessing-times) suggests others in your same time frame have received their results weeks ago.
TreeOfWoe, I agree with TheFalseProphet; you should definitely call them. If you look at my post above, I did my CSFC/CRSFC in July as well (it was in the GTA area) and I received my results at the end of August. It's late November now, I would think that you'd have received your stamped results back by now.
The wheels could have fallen off in two places:
1) The place where you did your tests. I'd try calling them and making sure that they did indeed mail out your tests to the CFO.
2) The CFO's office: did they receive your test results, and have they mailed the stamped results yet.
Weird. Like I said, early October they said they were processing July tests, but I still haven't got it. Thanks for the tip - I'll call tomorrow morning and find out.
