Hello,
New member here. I don't know what to do, my application was received almost 110 days ago and I still don't have my RPAL...
Location : Québec
Application received late June in Miramichi
Credit card charged, appear online August 10
Called Miramichi at the end of August to check if everything's alright, they told me my application is fine, nothing is missing
Called again around September 8, they transferred me to Québec's CFO, who told me that my application is ok, they only have to call my references
They told me that I should have news within 2 weeks.
3 weeks later (late September), I call again and they tell me the same thing : there's nothing wrong with my application and I should have news within 2 weeks. They received a huge number of demands, and this delay is normal. I can completely understand that. When I nicely told them that it is what they said three weeks ago, they told me it should be very soon, a matter of days.
Nothing since. I know my references very well, both avid hunters that will let me know me as soon as they are called.
No criminal records here, and I can't think of anything that would cause problems. I was very courteous the few times I called. This happened to someone else?
I put a deposit on a nicely priced Sig P226 in August...but now I wonder if I should just cancel it. I wanted to do some hunting as well, looks like it will have to wait next year, if at all.

Call the RCMP and get your file number. Then have your references call in with that number and do their interviews. It may be a simple matter of the RCMP called, didn’t get an answer and unless your references state their full name in their voicemail, they won’t leave a message.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,

Thanks, I will try that.
Can't say 29 days, but I feel very lucky to have gotten my license issued in 32 Days or less, application received on Aug 22, license issued (or at least showed up online as issued) on Sunday Sept 23. When I checked at 4pm on Friday Sept 21 the status was still "processing" but when I looked on Sunday Sept 23 the status showed as issued. When I called on Tuesday Sept 25 to get the number, the operator on the phone said "it was just issued yesterday (meaning Monday) and will be mailed out today". He had no problem giving me my number and confirming the expiry date.
They no longer allow references to call in unfortunately. If you're in Ontario, there's a good chance your references wont be called anyway.
Your references can absolutely call in if your application gets to that step. Both of mine were asked to call in. I get the confusion though, you can't just ring up the call center guys at Miramichi to give a reference, your application probably hasn't even been reviewed yet.
If you get to that stage the officer will first try to get in contact with you and youll be given a different number, either an extention at your cfo or a direct line for a specific officer handling your case.
Thanks for sharing! Did your references call in or did you just sit back and wait patiently?

Did you have to check off any boxes?
I called in today and the lady was super nice, day 60 and still not at the CFO. She did put me through to another provincial number but it rang and rang and eventually said this mailbox is not in service at extension 7 something.
Does anyone know what this is?
Thanks!
