PAL Wait Time

After waiting 90 plus days of seeing initial check completed I decided to call the CFO. I left a message asking what the issue was. I told them if they required additional info then they should.let me know so that I could supply them with it. 4 days latter my card was in my mail box.

How did you get the number of the CFO directly? Did you call the 1-800# with an extension? or..?

Still no news :(, 39 days and counting...

Should call the 1-800 number and ask the CFO's number or extension.. Mhead2222's response gives me some hope! haha.. I just checked and I mailed my paperwork on exactly the same day as you. I was thinking about faxing the BC CFO basically what mhead said if I can't find the CFO's number..

I called the CFO directly today and was told it was assigned to a certain CFO already and that I just have to wait.. I guess ill keep calling every week lol
 
they must have either hired a bunch of people , or cleared a big back log, i called today 3 times, once about my license, and got through after one ring, and twice for fire arms transfers, and same, got through with different people after one ring,

im not complaining by any means, just never got through that fast , that many times, and in one day..:)

according to all involved, the only action they are taking is not doing overtime, one of my neighbours works fairly high up in the local post office and i was talking to her about it last night, said 99.9 percent of the population wont notice and changes to postal service, so your PAL, "should" be coming on time..lol
 
Just called CFO's office again and was told to call back again in 4 to 6 weeks.. Probably gunna call again in a few days and see if I get someone else on the phone lol
