PAL Wait Time

AnthonyHZ said:
Call MB cfo, see if they can do background check during the call. My application was sent to bc cfo 2 weeks ago, i waited for a week nothing happened, so i called bc cfo last week. A lady answered the phone, after giving her my information she put me on hold for like 6 mins while she went to do the background check and issued the liscence.

Thanks for the advice! I'll give that a try and hopefully they can approve it during the call.
 
My current timeline in Ontario:

Jan 12/13, 2019 - PAL/RPAL courses
Jan 14 - mailed application (minus course reports) to RCMP via registered mail
Jan 16 - RCMP receives application
Feb 12 - receive stamped course reports in mail
Feb 12 - application appears online
Feb 13 - called CFP when they opened for fax number to send reports - given an Ontario number (705-330-4298). Faxed reports right away.
Feb 14 - called CFP to verify they received reports. Was told they did and that application has been approved. Should see license in 10-14 days. Went online and status has been
changed to license has been issued. Should see it in 2 weeks.
Feb 22 - received license in mail.

Happy Valentines to me!

I'm going to try this tomorrow with my provincial CFO. I called 1-800-731-4000 thinking they were the only number I can call today.

The RCMP received my application on October 30th so it's been a while.
 
Here's my timeline in Ontario. Completely clean application. One conjugal partner, no criminal record, no boxes checked.

Dec 22/23 - 2018 PAL and RPAL course taken

Jan 14 - 2019 Stamped test results recieved from Ontario CFO

Jan 15 - 2019 Application sent Xpresspost with signature required to RCMP

Jan 17 - 2019 Application recieved at Miramachi RCMP

Feb 12 - 2019 Credit Card charged and Shows up online.
Feb 19 - Says online "Your application has been processed and your licence has been issued" :dancingbanana:

Time to go shopping! :cool:
 
My current wait time in BC for standard PAL:

Nov 18th: 2018: took cfsc course
Nov 28, 2018: Mailed via Xpresspost to Miramichi with signature required
Dec 4, 2018: Arrives at Miramichi
Jan 9, 2019 : Credit card charged and Shows up Online "your application has completed initial processing. It is now in progress"
Jan 11, 2019: Called in to correct city of birth.
Feb 20, 2019: Still waiting :/
 
Dont worry I bet its nearly done processing. The correction on the city of birth definitely slowed it down but I bet its on its way soon. Did the BC cfo stamp your results before they were sent to Miramichi?

That’s crazy...Did you have anything that may raise a red flag on your application? And what did that guy mean by he would be surprised if you got it by next August? Like he was making a wise crack?:bsFlag:

I did get flagged for putting that I was in a motor vehicle accident that has made me unable to work for the last 2 years in my trade but I'm going to school to retrain... nothing weird there
 
Here is my time line in Manitoba for first time PAL/RPAL application. No boxes checked and “Letter of Good Conduct” attached from Ukraine as I’ve been in Canada for less than five years.
Jan 07, 2019 - Package received in Miramichi.
Feb 05, 2019 - Credit card charged and it appears online.
Feb 24, 2019 - Progress online was still same as when the credit card been charged, so I called in to check what stage it is on now and been told that it is with Manitoba CFO now. Called Manitoba CFO to check if I can do interview process and background check and very nice lady on the phone put me on hold for couple of minutes to review my info and after that she approved my application and license has been issued right away. No reference or wife been called and MB CFO told me that there’s no mandatory interview and they call it only if they got some questions. By the way if some one is looking for MB CFO phone number it is (204) 984-0715
