PAL Wait Time

[Icebane]

Chill out some people wait a year. It's the government.

Sorry. I don't meen to come off enraged. I've just never been told I can't do something for this long a period of time. And I have already lived a good part of my life... I get that our society has problems with guns but a 6+month waiting period isn't going to diminish that.

Manditory 28 day waiting period as legaslated by the government not the RCMP so do you have trouble with math.

I must. Because 38 and 28 from today doesn't bring me back to feb 8th.

Thier days do not include weekends dude it's the government.

Okay, that made me laugh. I have to laugh at this point... I mistakenly counted all the Friday’s too. Stupid me.

For those of you looking for useful information, i did call them this week. They said mine (issued March 21) was printed on Monday April 15th. The girl was like “good news”, i was like “what, you JUST printed it...”

I just hope it shows up before the fall...

[Mikey01]

WOOOOOOOOO that means mine printed too! Being a gun owner you will have to learn patience or it will suck for you.

Exactly 10 weeks from arrival in Miramachi, no errors/hiccups with the application.

Iv been waiting since June 2018 when my credit card was charged ... i have lost count of days... you are welcome to tell me

But seriously people who complain 2 months into the process crack me up !!! LMAO

If you are getting worked up about the que ....maby you shouldn't have a firearm

Dead on! There is a minimum waiting period of 28 business days before they even begin to hopefully process. If you start calling them up you probably look like an idiot who is in a panic to get his PAL, probably gets tossed aside for another 90 days.

For some perspective here, when was the last report in this thread of someone here actually receiving their plastic in the mail recently? This week. . . Last week. . . The week before that? ? ?

I would also like to know this, it almost seems like they've stopped... Kind of worrisome.

Dude, it isn’t 28 business days. There was a guy I was taking to whoa was approved in 34 days, which would be 24 business days. It’s 28 days period. Weekends included, and it starts the day they receive your application (not from when they open it).
