PAL Wait Time

[Jlucas]

I did get flagged for putting that I was in a motor vehicle accident that has made me unable to work for the last 2 years in my trade but I'm going to school to retrain... nothing weird there

Here is my time line in Manitoba for first time PAL/RPAL application. No boxes checked and “Letter of Good Conduct” attached from Ukraine as I’ve been in Canada for less than five years.
Jan 07, 2019 - Package received in Miramichi.
Feb 05, 2019 - Credit card charged and it appears online.
Feb 24, 2019 - Progress online was still same as when the credit card been charged, so I called in to check what stage it is on now and been told that it is with Manitoba CFO now. Called Manitoba CFO to check if I can do interview process and background check and very nice lady on the phone put me on hold for couple of minutes to review my info and after that she approved my application and license has been issued right away. No reference or wife been called and MB CFO told me that there’s no mandatory interview and they call it only if they got some questions. By the way if some one is looking for MB CFO phone number it is (204) 984-0715

Thanks! Now I am waiting for mine too, hopefully it won’t take long. Still took less time than I was ready to wait after reading some posts here from people who waited for 5-6 moths to get their license issued.

Ladies and gents: We now have our PAL in hand!

Located in Montreal, Quebec

Application received on December 5th.
Appeared in their system on Jan 15th.
Kept checking updates and nothing for a while so gave up and decided to just wait it out.
Received in mailbox on February 26th

I called in 3-4 times and there was nothing the CSR could do or tell me passed what the website said. None of my references we're called

Already bought 700 rounds of target load at Cabelas
