PAL Wait Time

I was thinking of getting a Brazillian 1908 mauser if I were to get my PAL just before the list was revealed, guess I got to get a 1912 Chilean one, basically the exact same gun with a different crest and markings.

Buy one, its bull####, I doubt those are going to be enforced.
 
That's so lame... I'm in the same boat, it's been a ridiculous year and last while especially. I keep having to change my plans and always worry the card won't even show up because reasons, since that's how things apparently work

Wait so you’ve been waiting a year since they said it was processed and issued? Wtf? Seriously?

No no, it's in that two week area of been issued and reported arrival time. I just meant the last year in terms of announcing the latest bill and all the changes since, it's really thrown off my plans.

Has anyone ever got their card in the mail within that 2 week window of when they said it would be sent? I just want to temper my expectations of getting it before Christmas....

Waiting since Nov 4th no card yet. You can call and get your license # as soon as you are approved you are licenced immediately.

You are right, its all bulls**t, but it hasn't stopped this government before.

The PM perjured himself during the Emergency Act Tribunals, when he said that he never called "anti-vaxxers" discriminatory / derogatory names. Which we have seen dozens of video's proving otherwise.

The news came out that the PM locked down this country and restricted travel, then asked his teams to find a scientific reason to support it, after the fact.

He froze peoples personal assets and bank accounts because Canadians were protesting against his unconstitutional decisions.

He fired female ministers who refused to break the law for him, and several other scandals (Black face, ###ual misconduct, donations from the CCP, etc).

Do you think he cares about the law and what he can legally do?

Simply Put. RCMP don't have the manpower, or finances to collect AR15s, let alone people with Mauser rifles. My friend is a gunowner, conservative and a town police. He works with the RCMP, they barely can get people to cover shifts. It's going to be other shooters and gun owners, ratting out other people, NOT the police.
 
I hope you are right.

I am still waiting for my PAL, and I fear that wait times are being intentionally delayed until C21 is passed. I hope I am wrong.

I have no reason not to believe him. He is in the same boat as every gunowners, and equally as pissed. He sees the justice system and how it is a joke, He sees the failure to go after the illegal flow of firearms, that nearly puts his life on the line. He took 2 snub nose 38 from the same person, different times, of course unlicensed.

Wow! That's nutz!

As a LEO, he must be so frustrated with the current environment. He's putting his life on the line day-in-day-out while these misguided hooligans' sit in boardrooms behind their armed security and write policies that affect us all!

Thanks! I might just do that. Can you buy anything without having your actual card? I wasn't sure if you could get anything at your local gun shop without producing the actual card itself.
 
So I paid 375 for the course last December, only ever wanted a handgun. Banned.

I started shifting my focus to rifles even though I wasn't really interested, but I found one I liked. Banned.

Now I'm STILL waiting for Ontario CFO to approve my license (CC charged on August 13), and basically every gun is banned.

I know the cost of a lawyer would be way more than the $375 I paid, but would I have a legal case against the government that I basically paid all that money and got a license and got scammed? Why should you pay for a license to something (e.g. driving or fishing) and then that thing is banned and the license is completely useless?

This government is F'n loathsome.

I hear ya...I took my Restricted course in August (had PAL for a long, long time already) in hopes to be able to get a handgun in time (yes, no one to blame but myself for waiting so long), and then when the freeze happened, I thought well I can always get that B&T...but nope...

For those who are getting their PALs for the first time, there certainly is a lot more selection for the first time gun buyer who is looking at Non-Restricteds. At this point I can imagine too many people signing up for Restricted courses going forward...
 
I had my PAL application received by the RCMP on Oct 28th in the morning. The Individiual Web Services still isn't even showing it

Not a surprise there. They don't update it until they open the envelope...it is then that they will backdate it for Oct 28. Why they do this instead of just updating during actual receipt (even if it is not being processed), I am not sure - could be maybe they don't want to give the impression they are working on it when they are not. But many including myself can state that you only see an update when they open the application envelope. That could take 1-2 months.
 
Anyone with ON May 2022 application still waiting on approval? Just trying to gage when I can expect my license. Are they even approving new applications? Lol

Mine was approved on Nov. 8/22. I still don't have it. Called the Alberta CFO on the 24th and was told they only print a couple times a week. And, get this, the printer is broken. I offered to buy a new one for them from Staples and send it directly to them. Apparently that wasn't funny. Anyway, I'm still waiting. I believe they are holding it up until a total ban on long guns is passed then they'll tell me to F off.

So do they print these in one centralize location (CFP, Mirimichi) or are these printed at each respective provincial CFO office?
