finally got my PAL last week..it took the CFO 21 months, and two application , 120$ for CFO ,150$ for DNR course , a total of 270$ plus 20$ for photo and mailing. ruffly about 300$ for a piece of plastic that took nearly 2 years to make. HATS OFF TO THE CFO AND THEIR WONDERFUL SYSTEM....ITS BEEN A LONG LONG LONG LONG AND COSTLY PROCESS. anybody out there who wants a PAL OR RPAL better be patient...they are NOT very fast at the CFO office...
^Congrats? LOL
My wife's cousin has been waiting on his first PAL since April, in Ontario. All paperwork, including stamped test results, was submitted at that time. I showed him how to check online, and it still says in progress.
I've advised him to call them and see what is holding it up!

Woooo! Arrived in the mail! 55 days in total (40 business days), not too bad
Mine was less than 45 days.
Once you see your cheque or CC charged, Call in and get your file number. Once you have it, give it to your reference and get one of them to call in. As soon as they do, its stamped and processed and sent to your COO of your province. Its usually a week after that!
Happy Shooting!
