Ditto for the keep calling. I was told the card was mailed about 2 1/2 weeks back and it arrived after 10 business days from Miramichi to Ottawa. They use some really slow version of CanadaPost. I had to jump in my car and chase them down today after I watched them deliver a shotgun to the wrong building and the site changed from out for delivery to Notice Left. Took me 4 blocks but I stopped them and they handed it over. The joy never stops.
PAL Wait Time
- Thread starter rgh470
- Start date
Calling appears to be the viable path, but you may need to call multiple times to get what you want.
My license was issued on April 4. Called a few times and got put on priority list last week. Card was printed on May 22 and I got it in my mailbox today.

Application mailed: Mar 19, 2019
Application received: Mar 25, 2019
Credit card charged: Apr. 17, 2019
License issued: May 9, 2019 (This is day I saw on line but it maybe issued at a slightly earlier date)
Waiting ever since. Called in to find out on May 29 I was told card still pending printing so need to wait for another week or so to receive card by mail; when I asking if anything can be done to prioritize or speed up, reply was "not necessary".
I am in Ontario.

I gave a call this morning to the Quebec CFO. I’m on day 79. They are totally out of control and submerged by the amount of applications they received. I was very polite. I felt she and the whole office are really pissed by this situation.

I've had my licence for about two weeks now. 3 restricted, 2 non restricted in total all in my possession now. I called the Ontario cfo and they put a rush print on my second licence but it's now 10 business days as oppose to 5 due to high volume as the lady put it. They said that even though my licence ends in 0001 it's ok to bring my restricted to and from the range due to the police having the info that is required for the transfers. *Guess who's going to the range tonight!*
The technicians that they use aren't very good at fixing printers. I don't know if it's only my card but the picture isn't sharp and the item text (Eyes / Yeux , etc.) is blurry and the numerator items (Blue , etc.) don't line up from one side of the card to the other. You'd figure a government issued card while not flawless would look a little cleaner to discourage counterfeiting.
