Shane, you can check it here: https://secure.cfc-cafc.gc.ca/eCFRSInternet/editLicenceQueryChoice.do?language=English
It usually shows up 2 weeks for when they receive it.
well, I took the suggestion of being proactive and calling.
Sent my App for both PAL and RPAL in on 07 May, system said they received it 11 May (although it only updated that info on 03 June).
I called and did my interview this morning. Both refs are calling today.
have a VZ58 waiting for me.

I only knew when they received my application ...
The guy didn't check to see if they had it. He took my information, tapped a few keys on his computer - it was probably the online service he was checking
which I had already told him my info. didn't show up on - and said he didn't have anything.
All he could tell me was that, since I had confirmation of receipt from CP, processing of my application must be in progress, but he did not have any way of actually verifying that.
... because I'd sent it by registered mail, and checked with Canada Post.

Marked received May 15th, 09
My RPAL was mailed on the 13th, and is now posted online as being received on May 15th, initial process complete, and status is "in progress" I filled out the info to charge to my credit card, and noticed that they charged me as of last thursday (June 4th).... So I figure at this point, I am good to go, and just have to wait the min. 28 days...no reference or wifey received a phonecall.... Hopefully I'll be shooting by July.

I just noticed my credit card has been charged as well, also didn't receive a phone call, my references either, so maybe I won't call after all. If they didn't want an interview I'm not going to volunteer one!
Is it true that once your credit card has been charged the licence is as good as issued?

Some pages ago, someone said you won't get your $$$ back if you get rejected.
The reply sounded logical. It's part of the processing cost. Makes sense.
But not to worry... Go to their stats page. Very few get rejected anyway. Only prob is how long do we have to really wait? Some get theirs fast, some takes 6+ months with no apparent issues.
I'm approaching 45 days now. Got my interview done last week including both my references. Website status has not changed though. :-(
Mine was just issued. I believe that calling and doing my interview plus having my refs call actually sped up the process.

Great!
Did you apply for PAL/RPAL?
When did you and your references get called? Mine was done 7 days ago. My status hasn't changed yet. Application was recieved on 2009/05/14.
It's normal if it's not on the website, they usually show it when it's at the final processing step, which is usually the last week.
And it's normal if the refs didn't get called if it's just a PAL (RPAL is a term that doesn't technically exist, it's restricted PAL).

No word technically exists until it is used for the first and then subsequent times. This is why CNN reported that the English language now has 1 million words in use. If we didn't use new ones then we would still be at "Me Tarzan, you Jane".
