Start stocking up on ammo, range bags, soft/hard cases, safes etc...Originally Posted by xeronine
Thanks Ringwraith
Ahh shucks, still a bit of a wait but we're on the home stretch!
I remember the wait for the card was more painful than the application it’s self.
Soon as I saw the card in my mail box, drove directly to my Lgs lol.
Day 172
Good news! PAL has finally arrived. Unfortunately the rifle I wanted to buy 6 months ago has been discontinued and its replacement model isn't expected until the end of May... Shop owner said he'd see if he can still get one that may still be around, but not to hold my breath...
Nov 2, 2018 Signed up for CFSC
Nov 3, 2018 PAL application completed, no boxes checked, photo taken and signed by guarantor, two references signed. No history, no background (unless you count multiple security clearances with government of Canada...)
Jan 5-6, 2019 CFSC taken
Feb 1, 2019 Stamped test results received from province
Feb 1, 2019 PAL application mailed out snail mail
Feb 8, 2019 R.C.M.P. claim to have received my application on this date.
March 11, 2019 Credit Card charged $60, Application listed "in progress" on website.
March 19, 2019 Phoned in and was told application is with CFO
March 21, 2019 Online status now reads "Your application has been processed and your licence has been issued. If you have not received your licence within 2 weeks please contact the Canadian Firearms Program Toll Free number."
April 23, 2019 PAL arrives
Good luck to the rest of you. Hopefully it comes soon... I'm off to Service Ontario to apply for Hunter Outdoors card with firearm...
Feb 8 to now is 75 days not 172. FWIW mine was received Jan 18 and I acknowledge I wasn't waiting for RCMP when I was fulfilling the parts I'm responsible for in the days prior to that. But congratulations anyway my man.
My pal renewal plus Rpal application got to NB on Mar 11 and on April 18th licence was issued....with this printer deal i hope to see the card by June. My son was issued his rpal licence a month ago and as of yesterday it is still waiting to be printed...poor kid already bought a sig p226 x5 and an m&p 15 online and is going crazy waiting so he can pick them up.
No way. They received mine at JAN-3-2019, it still in process at the CFO QC. Almost 4 month now.
So GOOD news. The Quebec CFO finally got around to calling my references. they just approved my license. WOOHOO
So updated timeline:
Jan 24. Handed RPAL application to Montreal Police
Feb 8. Application Arrives at Miramichi
Feb 19: Passed Bill 9 training
March 12: Application online, credit card charged
April 24: Called by Quebec CFO for interview
April 25: "license has been issued"
It only took like, 92 days from reception to license. All it took is calling them every Monday, every week since the Quebec CFO got the details.
Call the Quebec CFO. Every week. if you're lucky the person on the phone with you is going to put an acceleration order on your application
Mine says application received march 29 and my credit card payment was taken out yesterday April 26, 2019. For both restricted and non restricted. I'm in Ontario. I know this is a hard question to know exact but any idea of how much longer because I'm going nuts!! Also, what questions do they ask the references? Already have my safe and my club membership paid for. Luckily it doesn't kick in until my first round at the range. Was gonna buy 2 used firearms from the store in bc today only to be beat out by minutes. I'm losing my mind!!! Any help would be awesome. Thanks
My card was in the mailbox last night when I got home from a fishing trip. Lic issed March 21.
The minimum 28 day waiting period starts on day they entered into the system. If you answered no to all the personal history questions and you have not been in trouble with cops in the last 5 years then the Firearms Officers in Miramichi will approve your licence without sending to CFO. Keep checking the website, it will happen sometime next week. However once your application status changes to licence issued then it will take one month to 40 days because they are having some licence printer problems.
If on the other hand there is any red flag then it can take up to 6 months while they investigate as your application is sent to Ontario CFO for further checking. Your references will most likely not be called.
Hang in there buddy.
