Someone know how long it take to receive the card, CFO told me 7 to 10 business but I hope it get in faster than that.
PAL card is sent from RCMP in miramichi or from provincial CFO?
Not 100% sure where it's sent from, but my understanding is that once Miramichi completes the initial check, they send it over electronically to the CFO for approval.
CFO approves, and then Miramichi prints off your licence.
Status of my application was changed to issued on Dec. 12th. Have yet to receive it, but I'll be willing to bet it's in the mail when I get home from work today.
VICTORY!!!
Finally, after calling and calling and calling I finally got my PAL
I called into my CFO to see what's going on with my application, and I was told that they didn't receive my CFSC report after it being received to the RCMP 3 weeks ago! So I asked if there was a way to sent my report to them asap and the review officer told me her email address to send the report directly to her, and sure enough I was approved! Now I can pick up some ammo that's on sale lol. Just goes to show you that you have to keep on top of things in order to get what you want.
It took me since October 29th to finally get approved, it was long but It was well worth it!

Received by Miramichi on September/24, charged and appeared online on October/19, called several times, been told waiting for Ontario CFO's approval, still waiting.
You've got to call the CFO directly and politely tell them your plight. Ask to see if everything is on the up-and-up and get as much info as you can about your application. That's what I did, I just kept on calling and calling till they gave me a suitable answer, but you have to be polite.
My Pal/RPAL process (first time applicant in BC)
October 17th&19th 2018 Took CFSC/CRFSC
November 2nd 2018 Received CFSC/CRFSC report from instructor
November 7th 2018 Application mailed via Canada Post express (paid $18 instead of regular $6 registered mail because I was afraid it might get jammed up with the strike)
November 13th 2018 Application received in Miramichi
December 6th 2018 CC charged and application appeared online (typical "Initial process completed please check back at a later date")
December 18th 2018 Application processed and license issued.
Total approx. 35 days since application was delivered (Clean record, no boxes checked)
Honestly, I was surprised, I thought being so close to Christmas I would most likely have to wait till Jan/Feb 2019. I don't even plan on calling them till after new year.
I guess now I have to call the CFO (I assume?) to get my license number, got some last minute additions to my holiday shopping list.
i already waiting for 5 mouths from montreal
