Continue to call the nice lady.
Haha! I will, I will
She actually WAS nice. I am pleasantly surprised! LOL
Damn straight she was a nice lady... Dare I say she might be a member of the conservative party?
Or at least has a couple of 'items' herself.

Have you called to see what it is they need? I knew I sent mine without the CFSC proof - so my message said this until I called, then faxed my forms through. If I had waited for the letter - it would have been much longer.
I faxed through the information and by the next day my status changed.

I have a buddy that has written both as well, and is STILL waiting.....
I told him to phone to speed up the process, but he is either too stubborn to do it, or just doesn't believe me.
In any case, make the call, it's an 800 number so it's not like it will cost a person anything but their time on the phone
Curious: When anyone applying for an PAL/RPAL did their interview, did they ask you WHY you wanted to own restricted firearms? I said target shooting, because of course that's the truth, but I thought it was an odd question, really. I suppose my only other option was to say collector, but our firearms instructor said to never proclaim yourself a collector.
Besides, you spend all that money on a firearm, OF COURSE you want to use the thing...

Tell them IPSC IPDA type shooting. A friend took you out and now you are hooked.
Better yet, tell them you already bought a gun and are using it. Even though it is legal because it is registered under his name, and you only use it when he goes shooting, it's a little inconvenient.... (I wouldn't know anyone who did this though
)

I was under the impression all the checking was done at the CFC in Miramichi NB?
How does the province of Alberta figure into it?

Yeah, they asked me the same question. I said "Target shooting..." and that was all it took. No biggie.
I was under the impression that the Alberta CFO is responsible for final approval as well as background checks. On the back near the bar code there it is stated that the card is issued by the Chief Firearms Officer of Alberta not the CFC.
Provincial CFO gives final approval, CFC does all the checks and then sends it to CFO.
I would not believe anyone at the CFC who says Alberta is responsible for the delay.
I asked to be put through to the Alberta CFO the same day my application was finished processing at the CFC, and was told that Alberta could take up to 90 days to approve, and they would not put me through to the Ab. CFO. So I called back an hour later and Ab. CFO office actually took only about 90 seconds to approve it over the phone.

I would definately call the CFC in Miramichi then and ask them what the delay is with the CFO in Alberta. Very calmly and politely explain the situation. A little bit of prompting here and there never hurts anything, and it pays to be forthright with any government licensing agency.
