PAL Wait Time

[JeffT]

Application received January 25th
CC charged and showed up online April 26th
Finally called in today and asked for an update, was put on hold for 2 minutes and approved!

Those who are waiting after it appears online for a few weeks call in and ask for updates every other week and eventually they will approve it

Congrats! I was going to call in again today myself on the 8th month anniversary of my application being received. But I thought I’d give them a few more days as the last time I called (6 weeks ago) they advised it’d be another 4-6 weeks for the new photo I sent in to be processed. Should be any month now. lol

Call to ensure they received your info, and ask if they need anything else.

Any idea how long it takes to upgrade to restricted?

Call them and ask if they are missing anything my cheque got cleared on the 4 and it was like that for two weeks so I called them on the 22 and just asked them for a status and if they’re missing anything and the guy told me I was approved on the phone directly

takes about a week. Mine was approved Oct 29 2020 and in mailbox Nov 06 2020. So going by that you should have it by the 30th at latest.

I am on my 6th version of my PAL (.0006). I have never waited more than a few weeks. Sent this one in on 06 Apr 21. Keep getting the same page saying in process. Called 5 times, same answer. "We're busy". Emailed and got no answer. Good thing I applied early. It expires next month. 🙄
