    I just received my plastic in the mail last week. My RPAL had been approved March 16th. Anyways, I called them 2 weeks ago to see when I could expect the plastic and the lady told me their printer hasn't been working properly so they were only printing at half the speed of normal so there was a delay in getting licenses mailed.

    Be patient....these are very nice people, they've always been friendly to me and I'm sure they get tired of answering the "where's my PAL?" everyday.....Patience is key (I know easier said than done) lol

    I guess the RCMP is lying about the wait time and the legislation is also wrong??

    I don't care how quick he got his and most likely a fluke.

    It's a 28 waiting period, likely in a situation where if there doesn't happen to be any backlog, someone who wants to do harm to themselves is going to have to wait a month at a minimum.

    Just like someone who moves to Ontario has to wait 3 months for OHIP to kick in. That too includes weekends, not just business days. I don't know why it's so difficult to fathom.

    Seems pretty foolish to go through the course, application process, purchase process just to harm yourself or others.

    Oh I agree entirely, but I’m sure that’s intended purpose of the mandatory waiting period. Don’t they have a waiting period for most purchases in the US too for similar reasons? To give you time to cool down and reevaluate?

    Did your rPAL come with the ATT conditions printed on the back (assuming it is your initial rPAL, rather than the second one issued when you buy your first restricted firearm)?

    Any updates on card printing? My application was approved today but I probably won’t have the card in hand for another month or so?
