I'm in Montreal, Quebec, and I took all my lessons early this year. I sent my RPAL application as soon as I had all the paperwork ready along with my results.
April 18 - Marked as Received.
May 14 - Payment appears on my credit card and status changes to "Your application has completed initial processing. It is now in progress. Please check the status again at a later date."
August 22 - After reading this thread, I decided to send a polite email to the CFO (which actually is the Sûreté du Québec here).
I did not check any box, I do not have any criminal record and can't think of anything that could show up to flag or slow down my application.
I find it unpleasantly long, especially since I know some of you guys, even in Quebec, started the whole process after me and received your card weeks or months ago.
Hoping for an answer. If I don't hear from the CFO by email, I'll call some time next week and will post any update here.
Great forum, by the way! Cheers! :D
