Quick update that I am told right now that the RCMP is working on mid-September 2020 applications as my wife is awaiting PAL/RPAL.
Wrong they are out past October 24th right now. I called yesterday to enquire, told them my application was signed for on 22nd, she said to call back with tracking number and she would get to bottom as they are working on a few days after that. Turns out I was mistaken I sent my application on 22nd it was signed for 27th. Should be online this week.
Thats just to enter it in the system and take your money. I think what he meant was they are actually working the sept files to go through them and do their checks etc. Mine has been visible since beginning of Feb but no movement, no reference calls and I do not even have a speeding ticket on my record. When I called they said 4-5 months so the sept thing makes sense.
