PAL Wait Time

[KiDPuDi]

Current 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, at this time 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 - Application status still showing "Competed Initial Processing" so I called in again. They said all that was left was to do a background check and send it off to the MB CFO.

It is now February 12th and I'm still waiting to see a change in the application status. Anyone have any tips for anything I can do/say to them to get this moved along? Anyone else from MB experiencing a bit of a delay or is it just me? haha

Call MB cfo, see if they can do background check during the call. My application was sent to bc cfo 2 weeks ago, i waited for a week nothing happened, so i called bc cfo last week. A lady answered the phone, after giving her my information she put me on hold for like 6 mins while she went to do the background check and issued the liscence.

Thanks for the advice! I'll give that a try and hopefully they can approve it during the call.
