Quick update that I am told right now that the RCMP is working on mid-September 2020 applications as my wife is awaiting PAL/RPAL.

Wrong they are out past October 24th right now. I called yesterday to enquire, told them my application was signed for on 22nd, she said to call back with tracking number and she would get to bottom as they are working on a few days after that. Turns out I was mistaken I sent my application on 22nd it was signed for 27th. Should be online this week.

Thats just to enter it in the system and take your money. I think what he meant was they are actually working the sept files to go through them and do their checks etc. Mine has been visible since beginning of Feb but no movement, no reference calls and I do not even have a speeding ticket on my record. When I called they said 4-5 months so the sept thing makes sense.

PAL or PAL/RPAL? What province?
 
RPAL was approved sometime this week (week of Feb 21st)
They had received my application on October 26th.

Haven't received the physical license yet, but it's apparently on the way.
 
For anyone else watiting, I recommend calling your provincial CFO. Got in contact with mine in Ontario, and my picture was missing the name/signature on the back (this is for RPAL upgrade its the same pic as my PAL). There was also some confusion because my name was spelled wrong on my license (a space in the middle of a name lol). So I'm not sure what they need to do to verify my picture, (she mentioned they may or may not send the pic back to me to verify), but if there's anything wrong, they should let you know.
 
So what exactly does the CFO in your province do with your application mine has been their for a while now but won’t give me any other info other then my photo and signature has been accepted and they say it’s in finial stage !?!
 
My credit card got charged today, however they only take the money for RPAL. My application is for both PAL and RPAL. Anybody same as me?

just found this online -

[h=3]PAL: $61.32. A FIREARM POSSESSION AND ACQUISITION LICENCE (PAL)[/h][h=3]RPAL: $81.76. A PERMIT FOR “NON-RESTRICTED” AND “RESTRICTED” POSSESSION AND ACQUISITION LICENCE (RPAL)[/h]
 
Anakindenischan- when was your app received by RCMP?

Btw Rpal is the same as a pal but it has restricted privileges. It’s 81.76
