PAL Wait Time

BC update

Mailed April 3rd
Received April 8th
CC charged July 11th
Initial review complete

I’m hoping another few weeks until approved, I won’t count on it based on some peoples experiences.
 
Application mailed April 4th

Application received April 11th

Was able to finally log in to check the status last week, took them three and a half months. I checked back today and the initial review has been completed.

Located in AB.
 
Sent in my application in January, was received by them on Jan 17th

Had to cancel my card that I used on the application, new card was charged Jun 29th.

Still can’t access anything on the portal. I think I’m going to call tomorrow.

Alberta
 
My application was received by March 7
CC at June 01
But still waiting for approval. 50 day’s already!
It is obvious delay compare with before. Have anybody have similar timeline with me and still not been approved?
 
Hope this helps anyone (AB):

License Application: received March 31st 2022 via registered mail.
CC Charged: June 28th.
Had to call in to verify additional information on July 5th; pushed into photo scanning queue.
July 18th: Your application has been processed and your license has been issued.

NR to R. No boxes no references called. AB CFO seems pretty good about pushing licenses through once they make it past the photo-scanning queue. I called in probably 2x a week on the 1800 number to check my status from date of CC charge (menu options 152).

Cheers

Took several days trying multiple times before giving up. To call the No and get past the message saying they were sorry they were unable to answer.
After about 6 attempts today, I got to be on hold. For about an hour.
It apparently takes a several weeks to get round to checking the return mail to there question.
The lady was quite nice and updated my information into the system. Today now I can log in.

Status is now initial review completed. As of today Jul 19.
Advised to call back in about 4 to 6 weeks.
My letter still hasn’t been opened but at least the information requested has been updated.
Next it goes for a review by a firearms officer.
If they are happy
Then sent to CFO for BC.

So a while yet.
I suppose I should be happy there is some progress.

Received March 28
Request for information sent June 23
Mailed back 6th July.
Phoned and finally got through today.
Initial review completed today July 19.

Out of curiosity, what info was not being saved correctly? Rcmp was not saving your info correctly?

Also are you saying to photo queue is a month wait?

For Edmonton CFO is a month behind on reviewing applications and there is a month delay for photo upload
Queue. Yes the rcmp system was not saving my pal application info for section F, I had to call 3 days in a row to make sure section F was saved. The lady did say she they were experiencing software issues.

Update. July 27th: Info saved now just waiting on photo queue before my file being sent off to Alberta CFO,
With 4 week delay.

Rcmp was saying that they are over swamped with new applications due to new Bill being introduced,
So expect to wait 6-12 month minimum to have your pal.


Update July 28 - called RCMP call center and photo upload times are back logged, they are not sure when the mail room will upload my file, just the waiting game...
