PAL Wait Time

[Kaledoherty]

So I just called the RCMP, and the very polite and pleasant lady informed me everything looks good on my application, the payment went through ok and they aren't requesting any more information at this point. She said "it's in the middle of the processing and will be sent to the CFO after this. It is not in their hands yet. Feel free to call back within the next couple weeks for an update." Ugh so much for boxing Day deals lol. At least the lady was pleasant...

Man if any constellation. I was told the same thing. Licence issued like 8 days later ish. I know how miserable the not knowing is. I can say it’s white frustrating. But the end is nesr. If they didn’t require more info that’s a good sign and you might be in the non flagged pile. I know I can say it could be almost here. But the negativity doesn’t allow it. I was there 2 days ago. Watched the pistol I wanted sell out nation wide in 2 hours. Next day got the licence number. And ordered all of it. In an hour. My wife will #### when the visa bill comes. But just keep checking online. And hopefully soon buddy.

I will keep coming to check on the thread here as I feel for everyone in limbo still and want to see how the time lines turn out for all of you fellas.

So I finally got the call from the officer in charge of my file yesterday, saying that he was giving the go on my application. It took 468 days and roughly 30-40 calls, but it's finally in the mail! I don't know if this was the spur that kicked the camel into gear, but I sent an email to the address given to me (cfp-pcaf@rcmp-grc.gc.ca) by one of the information officers two days beforehand, and two days later I got my final interview and confirmation.

I really haven't decided yet! I said to myself when I first passed my course that the first gun I wanted was an AR15. However, I need to join a club and get an ATT before I can even purchase a restricted firearm. So I don't know yet. I'll have to go to NAS Guns and Ammo to see what they have. I have a 10% off coupon there so that will help.

I'm going to try calling to see if I can get my PAL number and expiration date so I can give it to the club I want to join. Then I can get to buying online lol.

What are you thinking for your first?

I think it all depends on the provincial CFO. It seems here in Ontario it's pretty quick, but in Alberta and BC it seems to drag on. Don't fret though, I was told the same thing two days ago. Today it was issued.
