EDIT: RPAL *
2019-05-08: received at Miramichi
2019-05-31: shows up online "in progress"
2019-06-03: (later confirmed via telephone) transferred to QC’s CFO for final verification
2019-06-21: (telephone) Quebec’s CFO say they have my demand, that it has been transferred by the RCMP around June 3rd and that they are handling applications received in February (!)
2019-07-16: (e-mail) Quebec’s CFO say they are experiencing a high volume of new applications and therefore, to follow-up again in 30 days if I don't have my licence
Of note, whenever I could speak with someone, they were always nice and helpful, but it seems that they are under-resourced...
