Nova Scotia Resident:
Nov. 26 - Received by RCMP in NB
Dec21-cc charged
since Dec21,the online status show Your application has completed initial processing. It is now in progress. Please check the status again at a later date.
Anyone knows what is the next step? anyone here from ns recently got their application approved ? or still in progress ?

This is their default status after it's been paid for.
It's impossible to tell where your application is now without calling in.
1-800-731-4000
They can tell you if it's with your provinces' CFO or if there are any notes on the file. Most of the agents are really nice but sometimes you get a jerk or someone who's had a bad day. If you stay upbeat and polite it's a positive experience.

First time RPAL applicant in BC

Nov 26, 2018 - Received by RCMP

Dec 21, 2018 (Day 25) - Payment processed on VISA (I assume this is when it showed up online but didn’t check until way later)
Dec 24, 2018 (Day 28) - Payment posted to CC

January 9, 2018 (Day 44) - Still in process. Didn’t expect much because there were STAT days and holidays peppered in the period. Called RCMP and they said the following.

No missing information in application. Not with CFO. Currently waiting for the photo to be scanned in (not sure why this would take so long to scan something in). After that it MAY go directly to valid or it MAY go to the CFO for further review. Forwarding to CFO happens electronically.

So far no references nor myself has been called. No notice received either as my application is fully filled in.

Update 01/16 7AM PST - Application just changed to complete and issued. Was not the case last night so it JUST changed.

Happy man right here!

Going to call in to get my license number and expiry date and start a few processes while the physical card arrives.

Thanks buddy, just called them, being told that application is with NS CFO, and waiting to be reviewed. No idea how long would that take

So any NS applicants here?

Hehe. A Glock/M&P and an AR. Like Cheerios. Found in gun safes from coast to coast, lol!
Then it’ll be a shotgun. And then some .22’s. And then maybe a wheel gun. A hunting rifle. IDPA/IPSC competitions. Ammo to feed them all. Optics. Mounts. Cleaning kits. Range memberships. More ammo. Long range precision rifles. Hunting tags. Shooting apparel. Ammo cans. lol.

You are all doomed. Congrats new license holders! Have fun and buy guns!

Cheers,
