Ok just a quick question here, my CFSC and CRFSC are both this weekend (21/22) say I pass, what's next? Should I send in my PAL/RPAL app on Monday (23)? What's with this whole certificates and what not? Do I have to wait on something from the CFO before I can send in my app?

Thanks calalta!
Today's the end of my 28 day waiting period. Was going to call the CFC to see if there was anything missing from my application, or anything wrong with it that was going to hold it up... But I decided to check online first - maybe I didn't need to make the call.
And I didn't. "Your application has been processed and your licence has been issued."
Sweet sweet sweeeeeeeeeeet!
Can't wait to get the envelope now... Once I have it, I've got a call to make to Marstar!

I see what some of you mean by keeping on top of these guys...
They received my application on July 6th.... it has been "In process" since... Aug 20th today...
Called the CFC and they said everything looked ok and he would check into my application and I should call back next week... this didn't make much sense to me..
Called back and spoke to a different person and was told my application was at a stage where they would be doing the interviews... so they transferred me for my interview.. I had to press them and ask if I could get my references to call in after I was done and they said ok... wonder how long my application would have sat in limbo?? I know they didn't call me or any of my references...

I sent my stuff in by Xpress Post - signature required - on July 20th. Received in Miramichi July 23rd. They called me for my interview August 4th. Called my references the next week. Checked online today (August 20th) and the CFC/CFP website, a glorious bearer of good news, told me my application had been approved!
I never really had to keep on top of them. I guess I just got lucky and my application ended up on the top of the pile instead of the bottom.
Looks like they received my application and it's in a processing stage. Do they for sure call your contacts and if they do, what kind of bogus questions do they ask.
I remember reading here how somebody put a contact person who was called and asked what do you think he'll use the guns for and they responded, "For protection". Needless to say that person was ticked off and wasn't sure if they were going to give it to him because they posed a hypothetical question to a person who didn't know any better.

Q.. where did you do it?

You will have to wait for your test results. Then you send your application with the money and the picture as soon as you can.
Not necessarily.. it depends on the province as well. In ONT you can send it in before the PAL/RPAL tests come back to you.

According to all of those I have talked w/at the CFC for RPAL now they always call both references. Faster to have them call in though

There is no hard rule about that.. but apparently the rule inside seems to be they don;t call refs for PAL only unless something else is flagged... though I'm sure for 'statistics' they probably do make a few... so in the interest of speed etc I would have em call regardless
