PAL Wait Time

I called the RCMP and have a problems with my application was that my names were in the wrong order. The problem has been fixed. They told me it's final review now. Does this mean my application move to the CFO? I mailed the application form not online.
I from BC
 
Updates

July 15 & 18 CFSC/CRFSC
August 8 applied online and all references were signed the same day
August 18 initial reviewed
Oct 18 and Oct29 sent emails to the CFO with my no criminal background check(They didn't ask for it, I got that doc for another purpose, just wondering if it could help a little bit, so I sent it. )

Nov 7 it's been issued. may get approved earlier, but since I didn't get any reply from the CFO after a week of the email being sent to em, I thought it's gonna be much longer than i thought, so I didn't check it every day.

Just about 3 month since fill the application
 
UPDATE
Located in Alberta
Checked yes to a charge 15 years ago

September 26 - Applied online
September 26 - CC charged, referenced contacted, all signatures approved
October 25 - Called CFP, was told application had been passed on to provincial CFO. Told not to bother contacting.
October 25 - Contacted provincial CFO anyways, very polite email just offering any clarity or further information if needed
October 30 - Received reply from CFO stating they reviewed my application and approved it, to expect PAL in mail in ~2 weeks.
Nov 7th - License arrived in mail

Interestingly enough my online status still only says "License submitted"

Hi!
Here is my current timeline in BC.

07/12/23 pal safety courses received
07/14/23 mailed PAL application
07/17/23 Application received and Cc charged. Checked online status, “application received… come back at a later date.”
10/24/23 called RCMP to ask if I can provide help/ informations. They just replied everything is fine, just wait.
11/09/23 called RCMP to update an information about one of my references. I’ve been told it’s now in final review.

So I’m waiting since already 4 months and nothing changed on the website, I hope I’ll get it before Christmas… any idea how long the “final review” in BC can takes?

I'm in the same boat in Ontario
I applyed everting online checked everything No CFO has, my application since July 1
The same email we got thank you, sit back and relax hahha 🤦
 
Got my PAL in June 2023 and decided to do my RPAL in September (23-24). Got scores (because…Ontario) 2 weeks after, but got lazy and didn’t submit paper application until October 18. Application received October 25 and RPAL approved November 13. Would have been approved sooner, but I gave the wrong credit card info. From submission to approval was 3 weeks. License arrives this week. No references were contacted. My PAL approval earlier in the year took approx. 6 weeks.
