Ontario Test Return times?

If you did your PAL/RPAL test on Oct 2/3 (same as me), I wouldn't expect your results for another week or two.

I did my course the same date's as you and still waiting as well. Just received a letter today from the CFC that they are waiting to receive my exam results. Sucks cause now it's holding up the process.
 
Still waiting for the CFO

I agree.
I also received that letter but on the 12th of October. I faxed them back with an annotation on that same letter, that I had passed both NR and R tests on 02/03OCT and that I was waiting for CFO Ontario to send them to me.

However, our 28 days start on the date shown in your online file Application Status, Application received on:...........

I did that to let them know that I was keeping the process alive.
I faxed it to both 613 825 0297 and to 1-800-411-0622.
 
CFO told me...........

Please be advised the processing time for your results at this time of year is 4 – 5 weeks.

Today Monday 1st of November is day 28 (4 weeks) from my passing the exams.
I'll play along with their 4-5 weeks.
If I have nothing next Monday the 8th (five weeks) then I'm calling (and emailing) this very nice lady, Deb.

Good luck

I agree. I'll probably contact them for my test results if I don't see anything after 6 weeks though. My instructor told us it would be 2-6 weeks until we receive our test results back. He is a police officer as well so I'm sure he knows what he's talking about.

only 2 weeks to get my results back, the CFC claims they got my application on Sept 2nd, on Monday October 15, they called me, a week later my 1st reference, and a week after that, my 2nd. Now I just got off the phone with them and they said my application has been sent to the CFO in Ontario where I live to be "reviewed and approved/denied" estimated wait time? 1-3 months from this date here.

Who do you know? Two weeks to get your results back! And here I am more than a month and counting (and yes we do have Canada Post service in Ottawa. That's how I receive all my bills, and the MPs and MPPs free letters.....)

Deb from CFO called me today in the a.m., Friday the 5th. They're expecting to process the beginning-of-October exams next week.

Today - 24 SEP (Received and Online) = 42 days
Today - 03 OCT (Exams passed) = 33 days

and to top it all off, my brother (one of two guarantors) is travelling out of country soon for a few weeks.
I asked him to phone in for the interview even though my exam results are not (officially) stamped and returned.

Call back from CFO

Just received a callback from Deb at the CFO Ontario.
Very pleasant lady.
They are backed up terribly and they're just processing
end of Sept tests.
Mine having been passed on 2/3 October, "should" be done next week.
She's so pleasant and polite that it's impossible to get mad at her (she only works there, we all know and works as she's told and with whatever tools or help she's given, or not. I'm just guessing at this last sentence. She did not blame anything except the Hunting Season rush.)

Did anyone, doing their restricteds end of Sep/beg Oct receive their stamped results in two weeks? She would be interested in receiving info about these cases (since they'd be out of the ordinary......)
