I got my RPAL in 2009 but due to circumstances, let it lapse. I only had one long gun so gave it to a friend to hang on to until I got my PAL renewed. Finally in a place to take up target shooting like I originally intended. I sent in the whole application again, I still had my PAL number so put that on and marked it as a renewal. I sent it about 3 weeks ago. Nothing showed up online yet so I called today. I got a very pleasant person that told me to call back in two weeks if I don't see it move online. I did ask them if since it was a renewal, if I had to go through the 28 day waiting period. She said yes. This is contradictory to what I have read elsewhere. It is a full application package again so maybe they just sort it in to the wait pile, even if it's a renewal. Anyone have more info on that? Also, any recent reports on wait times from BC?
Pal and rpal, BC:
2018 Nov 29th: Application sent via Canada Post
2019 Jan 8th: Application appeared online
2019 Jan 21st: Called in, told photo being scanned
2019 Jan 30th: Called in, application with bc cfo
2019 Feb 8th: Called bc cfo, a very nice lady picked up the phone, told me no one had done background check yet, and asked me if i would like her to do the background check during the call, i said yes pls, and waited about 6 mins untill she finished the background check and issued the liscence.
Should have called bc cfo earlier : /
wow thats long one! guess i shouldnt hold my breath on mine.
