PAL Wait Time

[Big-boss-man]

Sooo today my status changed to:
Current Status: Your application has completed initial processing. It is now in progress. Please check the status again at a later date.
Anyone have a guess at how long from this point? If I called in would they already have a PAL number and expiry?

could be another 2-90 days depending on your province.

could be another 2-90 days depending on your province.

Oh man, Ontario.
With our new lock down that will probably mean the latter.
So the message I have means it now goes on to CFO?

Sounds like a phone call needed to clarify

Yup, Ontario is indeed the fastest based on what I've seen too... Quebec is the slowest CFO...

No there won’t be a PAL # until the application is approved. That could be MANY weeks from now. Hang in there.

 

[JeffT]

Anyone else having issues with the RCMP site lately?

Yes. It’s not been as responsive lately. Sometimes it’s taken a few times to log on. Happened several different times.

I’m on day 58 of seeing the in progress message. (
