78 days now if I count the weekends here in Ontario. I keep getting the run around. It's with your CFO. My background is clean, I don't even drink alcohol.. I'm straight as an arrow. Brothers in the RCAF. Dad worked DoD. I just wanna hunt. Ima family man. I already missed out on a really cool potential job offer in wildlife because my pal didn't get approved in time. Talk about infringement. God forbid, I was a real farmer and had actual livestock or veggies, it all be dead by the time I got a rifle to fight off wildlife. Please Mr.Gubmint, can I feed my family already?

File quickly transferred to BC CFO and went into never-never land.... called a couple of times in Sept, Oct... Still sat on
CFO's desk. Then, I recalled I and my wife one afternoon, 6 years ago argued soooooo loud neighbors called the police. RCMP
came, calmed things down & sent me away to my friend's place for a night. That was it. Nothing charged or anything at all after that.
OK, so be it. My half year long gun fever subsided.
Jan 5th, 2018, I received a letter from RCMP and there was this plastic card in it ---- PAL!
They never called my references.

May 27 & 28 PAL & RPAL courses
June 2 Mailed my application snail mail
July 28 had my reference call in
August 4 had my PAL and RPAL
Getting the reference to call in took a couple of weeks off the time. RCMP never tried to call them, instead the sent a letter to them asking them to call in. They got the letter one day before I got my license in he mail.
Both my reference's missed their call last Tuesday and I found out when I called in Friday,then had them calling all day Friday only to find out the interviewers had gone home early for the long weekend due to power and internet outages on the east coast.
