@Mattj2020 Was yours a new application? Mine showed up online on March 24 I believe, and card was issued on the 26, but I already had my PAL, and just got my restricted upgrade.

Nope. Credit card charged on Feb. 12th and still nothing. April 22nd will be the six month point from when they received my application. Not a short wait!
SO Jelly. Mine was online the 25th-ish- of Feb upgrade as well, from Alberta and still nothing. I am hopeful for next week but will not be holding my breath. I have a feeling mine is being held up because I changed my name. Technically my birth cert had a mistake on it, when I was born my parents told the nurse what my name was and the nurse typed it wrong on the live birth registration (mums Australian accent caused the error) I never knew until I applied for my passport in my 20's finally got it fixed in my 30's but answered the question "have been known by another name" cause technically I had been.

Hey guys
Ontario
PAL & RPAL
Sent my application in January they received it on January 16th
I previously had my restricted and non restricted but it expired in 2008 I did my safety course in 2001 so fortunately all my information is online already when I log in.
My new application however has not been processed and does not show up yet.
Anyone know what month they are processing applications for in Ontario at the moment ?

In theory they should be at end of November/start of December at this point
Thanks for the update. I sent mine on the 15th so still a few (LONG) weeks to go.
Holy crap, I sent mine on the 7th so it's any day now!!
Ok update: after over 2 years of waiting I finally spoke with the CFO.. and it's not looking too good. Due to recent police interactions within the past 5 years he has requested I have my family doctor sign a medical waiver, basically stating that I am sane enough to own a firearm. The problem is I've only known this doctor for like 5 months and I looked at the waiver he needs to sign and it contains false information on it from police reports. I asked the CFO if he can edit that to remove the false information but he cannot. All I can do now is tell the doctor the truth and my side of things and hope he believes me... 
SLOW AF, I'm oct 28th billed on Feb 24th-ish- (was money order not CC) and still waiting this is for Rpal upgrade.

Oh boy... That is not a good position to be in. Best of luck to you.
watch the website your status will change to "you have been or will be contacted" call them that day and give your cc number and you are good to go.
Oh wow. They received my application November 6th, and charged my credit card March 5th. Hoping to have it approved and on its way to me by the end of April. This is for an RPal.
