They received it on Dec 18th. I’m from BC
So the people who pick up the call centre calls — are they rcmp officers?
This process is so frustrating.

Took exactly 45 days from them receiving my app until my PAL was issued, I'm in NS.
28 days, still not online. No point in calling eh?
I've had my license for a while, but want to share my experience.
I applied, in Alberta, waited a few months, heard nothing. Called and asked politely, got the run around. Waited a couple months, did the same.
After 6 months, I scheduled an appointment with my local MP office. I showed them the timeline and asked them why, and we had a pleasant discussion. The very next day, someone from the firearms office called me, sounding very grumpy and irritated, and began asking me intrusive questions. My response was equally unpleasant, telling them that I had answered the required questions on the form I provided, I had spoken to my Member of parliament as well as a legal advisor, and please make a decision one way or the other so that I can move forward with the process. She hung up on me. I called back to file a complaint, and was told my application was approved.
Sometimes we Canadians are a little too nice I think. My MP office was great, and said come to us sooner next time. Conservative MP of course.
We mailed our stamped applications in roughly the last week of November 2018. They were received on December 6th 2018.
Both my wife an I noticed that last week, week of Jan. 14th, money left our bank accounts bound to cover our licenses. I sent a cheque my wife used her cc, they called my wife to confirm something on her application. She confirmed it, they said that's all they needed.
My questions:
Is the payment the last step before they mail it out?
Do the 28 (45?) days begin now or did they begin way back in December?
OR Should we be receiving them snail mail at some point in the next couple weeks (I hope)?
