congrats and all that. but Club Membership must be different in Quebec. Here in BC it would be a "catch 22" ... you need an (R)Pal to join a club but then cannot get a (R)Pal if you do not join a club?
153 days not too bad considering all the steps you had to go through. It is looking like i am going to be one of the unfortunate ones that will have the record for the longest wait to get approval
On March 21 was one year mark since my application arrived in Miramichi. So at this point i am at month 14.
just did the online renewal for my rpal in BC, started yesterday, it expires in a year, hopefully thats enough time! lol
Just a quick update; I sent in my application and it was received Feb 25th.
It's in processing online and I called to verify status; Miramichi told me it's with the BC CFO now, but they're not taking calls cuz of COVID-19.
Should I get references to call in? They told me to check again in 2 weeks' time.
Got my PAL today (Alberta).
Application received July 19, 2019.
Said 'Yes' to history of anxiety and depression - off treatment.
Missed a spot on the form about former surname or something so got a call about that in August to clarify.
Called in early January to follow up. She found my application and told me to call back in 2 weeks if I hadn't heard anything.
Checked status website March 30 - License issued but obviously not printed due to the plague.
Never called my references.
Glad I wasn't in a hurry
