Rifles paid in full are set aside until the PAL arrives.

Thank you very much for the reply, was just about to give you a ring.

I know M305's aren't flying off the shelves, but I also know my PAL application is turning into a pretty special case and I just wanted to be sure about it. Even the people at the CFP have been lost when I phone since it's so messed up and ass backwards at this point. I finally recently got someone to put some proper comments into my file so that whoever checks it will see that although the CFO was sent my paperwork, the CFP still needs to process that third reference. A huge issue was that midway through the process I moved from ON to AB and the CFP didn't properly update my info until the second or third call since I had been in AB.
 
if you've already paid in full theres no reason they wouldn't hold it for you indefinitely. the only time a vendor would sell something thats on hold for someone is if it hadn't been paid for, in that situation it's stock thats being held up with no money on hand. In your case they've already made the money on it.
 
One thing i can say for sure is the good thing about the new online pal check system is as soon as you pal is issued the pal number appears online while their mailing out to you so you could provide your pal number to them as soon as it appears online and just put your expiry as 5 years from now on your birthday, but i waited until i had mine in my hands just to be sure!!

Isn't there a minimum 21 or 28 day waiting period?

No that's how long it takes before they can look at it and send it to the province to have them do the interviews look up your background ect. Me I just called to see if they got it in the mail I wanted to make sure since it was 20 days when I did it. Seems to be going up and up that's what they recommend depending on the demand and how fast they can go through them. Since she got up picked it out of the pile then turn around and went well since your on the phone I was about to say bye and hang up. So I got mine in 2 weeks suckers...

I had mine in the mail the day I finished the course it was there in 2 days I had my PAL in 2 weeks was simple... I just bumped the line allot.

gunnyhighway, are you for real? Like for real real? M305 is not that in demand. If paid in full for why would he sell it off? Again, are you for real?

Are you for real? Like for real? The guy asked a simple question, probably his first gun and he is looking for guidance . A question was asked why would you not just answer it? Again, are you for real?

I agree. Seems to be a lot of individuals that enjoy simply dumping on others. Although I do find value in this forum, there is a lot of mindless comments to wade through at times.
 
Same here still waiting on the pal. Took the course end of June didn't receive my course papers till end of July. Sent in my info 1st week of August. They put my info into the system sept 5th as wells as deposit my cheque. I called a few times but nothing yet still waiting they said it could take a few more weeks :(. What? We are already getting into end of October. Also they haven't called my references yet. They said cause hunting season is here. Ok sure no prob. Waiting. Non restricted/ restricted. Very frustrating. But I will wait its all worth it in the end.

I did call them several times a week up until now I just let it go I was constantly getting the same answer. At one point the person told me it wasn't going to come in any faster by calling. Lol. I also heard the more you call the more they push it back which I don't believe. Another time the person look up my info and said ooooo well this the 4th time this week you called. I was like you guys log this stuff. Answer was yup. Lol. I'll try again soon. Not to mention a majority of guns clubs I found wanted a pal number for the application. I want to join barrie gun club with a 4 month waiting list. I'm trying to fast track a lot of things so when the pal comes all I have to do is purchase my firearms. :).

No. 28 days is the minimum time they are allowed by law to issue RPAL (i think the max is a year) but a PAL doesn't have this minimum wait period. From what I've been hearing not too many people get the 28 day minimum anymore I did last summer it was issued 28 days after the registered mail was received. My girl on the other had was mailed in the same envelope and it took 8 months of "everything is fine we are just doing final checks"
 
I applied to renew when I got back to Canada after a few years in New Zealand. Sent a photocopy of my NZ firearms license. They wanted me to submit a criminal record check before they'd let me renew, and wanted some testimony from the NZ cops that I was not a criminal or anything. The equivalent of the CFO for Christchurch sent them an e-mail essentially saying pull it out boys, we won't issue a firearms license to someone we don't think is "fit and proper" to own guns. After that the CFO Ontario sent me the new license (it helped, also, that I sent along a copy of the criminal record and vulnerable sector check that I had to do for my work - I coach kids...)
The CFOs have too much power accorded them by the legislation and I'm still cranky that the MAJORITY government won't live up to their statements made while in opposition - that they would repeal the firearms act (not just the long-gun registry)...
