I'm an Ontario resident. Thought id share my timeline for getting me PAL. I'd recommend new applicants really go over their application with a fine tooth comb as missing any information can really slow down the approval time.
Timeline:
Nov 09, 2022 - Mailed application
Dec 09, 2022 - RCMP charge my CC
Dec 09, 2022 - Application “completed initial processing”
May 24, 2023 - Mailed the CFO and ask about my status,
May 25, 2023 -They replied and said it’s approved.
May 25, 2023 - Message appears online: “Your application has been processed and your licence has been issued. If you have not received your licence within 2 weeks please contact the Canada Firearms Center Toll Free number. (1-800 731-4000)”
May 30, 2023 - Still waiting
June 05, 2023 - Received the PAL
They said they are currently experiencing a 3 week backlog for printing. I'll edit this post once received in the mail. If other ontario applicants can provide their rough timing of how long it took from being approved to receiving their card in the mail that'd be appreciated.
