Okay I know this has been beaten to death, but:
I sent my application for RPAL in and they received it on the 16th of January. So they processed it, called me and my references, and they sent it to the CFO on the 22nd of February. So here I am thinking "hey maybe I'll actually get it in the allotted time," but NO, apparently the 45 day mark starts now. What the heck?

I've been calling them regularly and they seem to have been working on it, but apparently it's only been sent to the CFO now. So does the 45 day thing only start when the CFO gets it? Is there a number for the BC CFO?

why do you have to wait 45 days if its the first PAL your getting then they will make you wait 28 days but if you have a POL or up-grading to a PAL or adding R to your PAL then there not a waiting time
 
The thing that pisses me off is that they say "an application should take at least 28 days," not "an application will take 28 days after the 30+ day time during which we screw around with it and do things that aren't legally required."

how long did it take for you to get your test stamped and sent back?
I did my test in the beginning of Feb., and still have not gotten anything back.... I thought this was supposed to be a slow time for the CFC.
 
Test stamped? I don't think I've gotten that yet; they didn't do that for my dad's regular PAL. They processed my application though and did background checks and whatnot.

I did my tests two weeks ago, and I've not received my forwarded results yet so I can actually mail in my application. I have a feeling that I'll be waiting a lot longer than the supposed 2 weeks that they told me I'd have to wait, just to get my test results back. I don't like how they wouldn't give us a copy of our results at all.

If you dont like the way thing work now then ##### to the CFO in Orilla let them know your not happy ask them why things have changed

FPembleton: Ohhh, you in Ontario? Yeah I got my test results the day of my test, so I didn't have any problems like that.

shootemup: That's fine, but the thing that's most irritating is they claim 45 days, not 75.

I received my marks, but I didn't receive the paperwork necessary for proof in the application.

For all of those in Ontario who has done the course recently, I called CFO Ontario, and they told me that I was misinformed about the "audit" time. They USED to take 2 weeks, but we can now expect 3-4 weeks of waiting before we can even hope to receive our results so we can get our applications in.
 
My application was received on Sept 15, 2022. Waited until Feb 2023 and started calling to no avail. Finally got transferred to BC CFO in mid May and he approved my application over the phone. Received RPAL early June.
