PAL "in progress"

You can fax it to them using 1-800-411-0622, add a filler page in the front with your application number, name, and telephone number so they can contact you if needed. much faster and it won't cost you additional money to mail them.

I just did that about a week ago and they received it immediately, I checked online later the same day and my status changed so it works.

I don't think the OP mailed in the application yet though - that only works if you've sent in your app and are waiting for your stamps.

However - this is correct. I sent in my application without the stamped forms. Then faxed them when they came in.
 
Oh sorry, when I read "I should have just waited one more day!" I thought it meant you sent your PAL application away yesterday, meaning you should have waited 1 more day so you could include the RCMP stamped results.

If you haven't sent anything away yet, just include a copy of each stamped results, your PAL application forms, your photo ID with the sticker on the back signed by a guarantor, and your form of payment.
 
How does that work with your photo you have to send? Can you fax that too? Wouldnt the quality be too bad for the photo?

No. You have to send in the original copy of your application form with the photo. Don't forget to get your photo signed. Include a copy of each of the stamped results. Check the front page of the application form for all the requirements.

It is possible to submit the application without your stamped results but that isn't necessary in your case since you already have them in your hands. (I waited 6 weeks for mine - so I sent in my application without them and faxed them later.)

You need to include 80$ TOTAL for the PAL and Restricted. I believe it's only 60$ for the PAL. (Check the front sheet of the application form. All explained there.)
 
They received my application back on May 19th. Its now July 1st which means they have had it for 45 days. No calls no nothing...at some point in the first week it said it is now 'in progress' and it hasn't changed since.

Ridiculously slow process :mad:

In that thread it says after you have had your interview and your references have been contacted it is sent to your provinces CFO. I have neither had my interview or had either of my references contacted and the last time I called in the lady said it was with the ontario CFO. Does that mean they by passed the whole reference stage?
 
If the CFO has it then CFC must have completed it. No rhyme or reason as to the applications that go through CFC process without phone interviews.
 
You can always call the CFO and ask about it. I did - and found out they needed additional paperwork from me. Not sure how long it might have taken for them to contact me to let me know...

Just checked my status and it says it has been approved and I will have it in 2 weeks YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I`ve been waiting 18 years for this moment!!!!!! :dancingbanana:
 
Well, I waited for my test results (3 weeks), and mailed my application via registered mail with signature required, phoned in after two weeks, and did my interview, had my references call in and do the same. My license was approved on line yesterday (day 29) so if everything is right with the world, it will be here is 7-10 days.
