I called the ON CFO this morning to inquire if CFP has forwarded my app over, as my CC was compromised and had to call CFP to update my CC, CC was charged on September 29 during my call to CFP.
My app is sent to central processing for photo scan then background check by CFO, hoping to get the approval shortly.
It was a pain to call in!
Ontario pal/rpal timeline
App received - July 25
Cc charge - sep 29 (initial review complete)
Licence issued- Oct 6 or 7
Called Ontario CFO at 7:05 this morning and was surprised I was put in que. Call was answered at 9:25 and I was able to get my pal #
Super lucky with how fast the processing time was when it started . Here’s hoping marstar starts the transfer before anything bad happens. I had pretty much given up having any chance of owning a handgun.
Bc update first time pal/rpal applicant

Approved October 7th

This is of particular interest to me as I am one of the likely few who are in the same situation as you. Got my original PAL in 2004.
Took and passed my restricted course in late August of this year
Got my stamped paperwork back by mid-September
Sent my completed application, paperwork, updated photo by Fedex overnight in mid-September
Fedex tracking confirmed delivered Sept 21, 2022
Been checking my status daily (I know, I probably shouldn't) on IWS, and it doesn't even show they received it (last status was my last PAL renewal in 2018). Which I guess means they probably haven't even opened the envelope. Or it fell behind someone's desk...
My restricted instructor said typically the straight upgrade to RPALs should not take as long as a regular PAL. But a fellow range member who was in the same position as me many years ago said it took about the same time
Thankfully my regular PAL doesn't expire till 2024. I am certainly hoping I get my upgraded card by then...*gulp*
