PAL Wait Time

Update:

Application submitted and signed off on June 3rd

Application has been process and license issued on July 19th


I did email the CFO a few days prior. I was responded to on the 19th that it had been approved so I do believe it helped
Does your status on the Individual service website says that it's approved? I called the CFP office today and they told me that the license is approved (gave me the license number as well). But said dont know when it will go to the printers for printing. My status still says, "We have completed the initial review...". Submitted application Jun-24
 
New member here, and an Ontario resident.
I completed my PAL/RPAL application using the online platform. Application was submitted, along with acknowledgement from all of my references, on June 19 (2024). It was processed with initial review on June 20. Online status of application was updated indicating that the application was approved and the licence have been issued; this is on point with the 28 day waiting period. I am now eagerly waiting for the mail to arrive. Will provide update once received.
Just got off the phone with RCMP, apparently the license is in process of being printed and may take 2 weeks to arrive …

I just got off the phone with them, they told me that it is in line for printing but are unsure when it will get printed. However, my online status was updated last Thursday indicating the licence is approved and issued…I figured issued implies that it is on its way in mail…

Mine says it has been issued, and if I do not receive it in two weeks to call them.

I had the initial review message almost immediately when it was submitted

This morning my status changed to License issued . If I don’t receive in 2 weeks call them. My 28 days ended yesterday. I guess they take 28 days from when your references sign the online request and not from the day you submitted your application. Well I just have to wait for the mail man now 😎

Lady from CFO office called me today and insisted that I have to get the membership from a shooting club. I called the club and they told me that they need RPAL first and also mentioned that there is one person in administration made this confusion. I replied back to CFO and explained the situation. Also I called CFP and a lady there listened to me and put note in my file and agreed that membership before RPAL is not possible. she asked me? do you have a gun???? I answered "no. I want to get one after getting my PAL/RPAL"
very confusing. I will be waiting for their call or email

Called 2x and emailed, always same answer: your license is with your provincial controller for approval.

In Ontario there seems to be an issue with printing delays. When it says your application has been approved, you need to allow 3 weeks for printing then up to 2 weeks for Canada post to deliver. My app was approved 3 weeks ago and card was only printed at the end of this week. I called and they gave me all the details.
