Someone I know got their RPAL 45 days from being received to being in hand at the end of Jan. I sent my PAL in end of Feb so I'm hoping for his luck. Also in Sask.

Was it just a PAL or also an RPAL spenny?
Final Manitoba timeline:
October 27th - PAL Course/Test
October 30th - Sent course results and picture in
November 8th - Received by Miramichi
December 3rd - Credit Card Charged, I began logging in to check my PAL application status, displayed "Competed Initial Processing"
January 7th - Application status still showing "Competed Initial Processing" so I called in. Was told everything looked good and it was just going to take time for them to work through everything. They said to call back if there was no change in status by the end of January.
February 3rd - Called in again. They said all that was left was to do a background check and send it off to the MB CFO.
March 1st - Called in again and took the advice of others on this thread and called Manitoba CFO, asked if they could do a background check on the phone, they said they couldn't but just wait patiently.
March 15th - Logged into the portal for the first time in 2 weeks and see it was approved! Came home from work and my PAL was in my mailbox! Letter said it was approved on March 11th.
Overall, from the time the letter was received in Miramichi to the time I was approved it was 123 days, 127 until it was in my hands. Just a bit longer than the 45 they claim haha.
Took longer than I was hoping but I'm thrilled I now have my PAL. Celebrated by buying my first shotgun to use for hunting this fall and a few boxes of shells!

Now to wait on the mail
Just did my non restricted January 15, 2019. I did it in Manitoba and sent my paperwork in 3 days later. Total time was 6 weeks until I received my PAL in the mail.
