    Likewise. I had a similar experience.
    On my RPAL course there was a great deal of information, actually quite emphatic information regarding correctly filling out the form and ensuring it was all submitted properly or suffer months before your error or omitted detail gets a second look.
    Its a bit of punishment for not getting it right the first time.
    I guess the attitude is " you cant follow directions to fill out a form but you want permission to own a gun?"

    Canadians have (a) the right of the individual to life, liberty, security of the person and enjoyment of property, and the right not to be deprived thereof.

    Never in doubt, seldom correct.

    I sent my application on Mar 4th with regular Canada Post mail.
    They have stopped processing any of the new application because of the COVID19.
    I cannot even check status online, it keeps saying we do not have any info....
    Not sure how long I will be waiting.

    All provincial offices are WFH so only phone calls to the call centre will work at the moment. And last I heard, they're still processing, just SLAMMED busy.
