Just got my RPAL, how long did it take you to get yours?

I'm not sure if this theory holds any water but my CFSC instructor advised us that the best way to pay for your application is with a money order made out to the receiver general of Canada because it's as good as cash. His theory was that if you pay via check or credit card what has to happen is your application is opened and processed, then it gets put in a wait pile as they have to wait for check/payment to clear and get confirmation back from the receiver general before anything else can happen with the application. Apparently the money order cuts all this out and can take significant time off the process.

Well to be honest, I wonder about that because they still have to get notification from The Receiver General that they have received the payment even if it is with CC or Cheque, normally CC payments I think would be processed immediately, at least they would know that the money was approved before starting to process the documents but I wonder with cheques because they can take up to 5 business days to clear.

I think the best thing you can do is just to call the firearm centre and ask them which is the best and fastest payment that you can make. =o)
