PAL Wait Time

[CaptainGoose]

Call MB cfo, see if they can do background check during the call. My application was sent to bc cfo 2 weeks ago, i waited for a week nothing happened, so i called bc cfo last week. A lady answered the phone, after giving her my information she put me on hold for like 6 mins while she went to do the background check and issued the liscence.

I'm going to try this tomorrow with my provincial CFO. I called 1-800-731-4000 thinking they were the only number I can call today.

The RCMP received my application on October 30th so it's been a while.

My current wait time in BC for standard PAL:

Nov 18th: 2018: took cfsc course
Nov 28, 2018: Mailed via Xpresspost to Miramichi with signature required
Dec 4, 2018: Arrives at Miramichi
Jan 9, 2019 : Credit card charged and Shows up Online "your application has completed initial processing. It is now in progress"
Jan 11, 2019: Called in to correct city of birth.
Feb 20, 2019: Still waiting :/

[Agriostxt]

Dont worry I bet its nearly done processing. The correction on the city of birth definitely slowed it down but I bet its on its way soon. Did the BC cfo stamp your results before they were sent to Miramichi?

[Adequate]

In BC the cfo doesnt stamp your results unlike Ontario. Here you do the test and you get your marks for the written and practical and mail them off.

That’s crazy...Did you have anything that may raise a red flag on your application? And what did that guy mean by he would be surprised if you got it by next August? Like he was making a wise crack?
