so i have the course comming up on the 11 dec, and im wondering what the wait time is if you already have your non-restricted pal, but are updating to the restricted. Is it the same long wait time, is it faster, or is it even longer? thanks in advance.
 
It makes little difference if you already have a PAL. The restricted takes a little longer because they conduct a more thorough backgraound check and interview all your references.
 
upgrading from PAL -> RPAL was faster for me than originally getting my PAL, since the mandatory 28 day waiting period does not apply the second time around.

Since I am in Ontario, the longest portion of the upgrade process was waiting to receive my stamped restricted test results back from the CFO. Once the test results were in, I think the wait was somewhere in the range of two weeks. I was interviewed, along with both my references, on the same day so there was no "added delay" for the interview process.

If you're not in Ontario, you're far ahead of those of us who are.

There is an excellent sticky in the Newbie FAQ section on streamlining your PAL application. Read the whole thing, it's your shortest path to success.
 
hey thanks guys. just an update, i called the cfo today in Fredericton New-Brunswick (where i live) and they said that there is no extra waiting period at all. They said all i have to do is bring them my non-restricted pal with my paper work from the course and they would update my "privalages" within two to three days! Im not sure if this is this is just in New-Brunswick or not, but it sure is good news for me!
