I did my application online and from doing the Course mid November I got my PAL in February, so 2 months from when I submitted it.
Found the process quite seamless other than the GC key stuff.
from what I have heard the online is way faster than mail stuff in from the sounds of it.
So things might be turning around for the better OR I’m just an extremely lucky ash-whole. Here my PAL timeline:
-Jan 26, 2023: sent my letter in express mail.
-Jan 29, 2023: letter was received.
-Feb 1, 2023: money was withdrawn from my account.
-Feb 16, 2023: primary investigation was complete.
-Feb 28, 2023: secondary investigation was complete and license was on the way.
-Mar 6, 2023: received my PAL in the mail.
The last thing I want is to discourage the folks who’ve been waiting for months on end. Maybe I just got lucky. Maybe the time it takes to get a license is gone down. Regardless. I hope this cheers people up or gives others hope!
I also applied online and had my application approved immediately after the 28 day waiting period
- Feb 5th 2023: submitted online
- Mar 5th 2023: initial assessment complete
- Mar 6th 2023: approved and license issued
- Mar 14th 2023: license received in mail
Gather signatures online is just entering your reference's emails in the online application, they'll get an email with instructions to login with GC key/banking and they'll have a disclaimer to read. Then they just enter their name and submit.
That's a really quick turnaround. I guess BC and QC CFO are much faster or have lower volume than here in Ontario.Originally Posted by SUB SONIC GEESE
Yeah, I was surprised that it was that quick. I see expected them to take at least a week once the waiting period was over to call references and what not, but I decided to look at the portal the day after and was approved.
Which province are you from if you don't mind me asking?
Edit- from ontario, submitted snail mail and just PAL

Happy for you. That is insanely fast...especially for snail mail. Prayers and thoughts for me....ha
Any suggestions on how to get through to the CFO?
Callling 1-800-731-4000 at 9am BC time Monday morning. Keep getting .. 'our office is currently closed' ...???
The BC CFO can be reached at 1-800-731-4000, then hit 1, 1 again, and then extension #9530.
