Shorten PAL Approval Times

Hey guys it's been 2 weeks today since my application was received per Canada Post and still nothing on the status online. Would it be a waste of time to call Miramichi ?

The wait for it to show online is about 22-23 days. Calling wont do much for you right now. I'd sit tight and wait.
 
I made the wait even worst just paid for Mossberg 500 3 in 1 and it's now waiting for me to pick it.

I jumped the gun lol I've looked all over did a dozen different stores and couldn't find one in stock until today so I didn't want to let it get away from me lol
 
Just heard from the CFO this morning
Everything aproved and they gave me my number
Unfortunately I missed printing day this week so it won't go in the mail til next Friday
Can I order online with just my number?
Would I need my PAL to sign for it at the post office?

Congrats. If the CFO gave you your PAL number, you can order online. SOME online resellers (such as SFRC) require a copy of your card so you CAN place an order but they won't ship it out until you send them the copy.
 
Don't know how this worked out but I'll take it

App received November 13th
Showed online December 1st
My interview and 1 reference December 6th
Second reference today December 7th
Online status changed to completed and issued today December 7th

Called to confirm status and it is valid. Thought it was 28 days to be issued. This is a pal upgrade to rpal
 
I think people need to chill out a bit. Just send in your application by registered mail and wait until it appears online. If they don't call you for your interview in a week to 10 days after it appears online call them and ask to do It. After you do your interview get your references to call in. Your status should change to approved if it doesn't change in a day or two call back. My sons didn't change right away and it turned out that they didn't mark one of his references as complete. Mine and my daughter in-laws status changed to approved within one hour of the references calling in. We all did our RPAL applications at the same time in September 2012 and all three were completed within the promised 45 days.

Thanks, Cabelas was cool about it
The fact that I had to go through the process all over again(I was overseas for ten years) was annoying but understandable given the political climate right now.
It turns out that the CFO's brother served with an old instructor of mine from overseas. Not sure if it helped but he was sure friendly

Wow, couldn't shake my number loose from the BC CFO at all, I guess knowing someone did help you out!

Thankfully mine FINALLY showed up in the mail today only 13 days later than it should have :rolleyes:

I called Wanstalls and gave them my number so they could initiate the transfer on my gun. They laughed when I said it was my very first RPAL but is followed by a 0002 (meaning 2nd one issued to me) especially when I explained why :D

I am one happy girl right now!

May the CFC and Canada Post be kind to those who are still waiting!

I applied for my ATT over the phone when I was trying to get my license number from the BC CFO, that was last Friday, so I'm hoping that the transfer and ATT will get processed together in the next week or so. Holy crap, maybe I will actually get to go shooting before Christmas! That would be a miracle!;)
 
I'm in the same boat as kermadoc. Mirimichi is doing ltatt's for BC right now. Nice lady told me to fax my paperwork to them and I will receive Monday or Tuesday by email. Going through the BC CFO is 5 weeks she said

Yep, I ended up talking to someone in Miramichi when I dialed the extension for the BC CFO last week, she said they were helping out to try and clear the backlog.. She took my LTATT info. over the phone and I faxed her my range membership. I think I'll call next week to check up on things :)
 
I did call just over a week ago and was told it was with the BC CFO. Perhaps I will try again tomorrow.

Called Miramichi yesterday they transferred me to BC CFO which was actually Alberta as they are trying to help clear the backlog. Long story short needed a copy of one document before final approval. Emailed it to them so hopefully the end is near!
