So, they recieved my application on the 15th and my rpal was issued yesterday, should have it by friday.
I also have had a non restricted for almost 10 years, not sure how much difference that makes.

Man, this thread is making me sad 
Ontario timeline:
One stop CFSC/OHEP completed Dec 22/23
Recieved stamped course reports mid Jan (15th I think)
Mailed out Jan 29
Recieved Jan 31
Appeared online as "inital processing completed, in progress" and cc charged Mar 1
I've called about three times since, just keep getting told to wait longer. Really hoping I get it in time for turkey season
Edit: I didn't tick any boxes, no record of any kind, and they confirmed when I called that there was no info missing.

Don’t get your hopes up. I am in Ontario mine has been “in progress” since Feb 8th. No boxes checked etc... Looks like I will be chasing turkeys with the bow this year.
It's been since October that my application for my PAL/RPAL was received. Everything in order, no boxes checked. I called the CFO for my province 2 weeks ago and they said they need to call my references. What is going on? I feel like they are being unreasonable.
I talked to my liberal (and very anti-firearm) MP today and had a surprisingly pleasant chat. He said he'll look into it for me but he's never dealt with anything similar before so it might take a bit of time.
No boxes checked but my application was flagged because of a brief mental health interaction with police 2 years ago caused by a few misunderstandings.
Fingers crossed that I won't have to wait much longer.

My wife and I also sent in our applications together. They showed up online within a few days of each other and both licenses were issued with in a couple days. I could be wrong but I think in a husband and wife scenario there is some incentive to issue both close together as once one is issued both parties would have access to firearms anyway.
My RPAL renewal is going on 8 months!
Application Received on: 2018-07-04
They requested additional information in September on my common-law relationship that ended a year earlier. I replied to that in November as I was working away from home so didn't get the request mail until late October.
They processed my credit card payment on March 8
today it still says
Current Status: Your application has completed initial processing. It is now in progress. Please check the status again at a later date.

Not sure if its the same in BC but in Ontario, a local area firearms officer will be assigned to investigate your application if it's been flagged. If you haven't already, call the CFO's office and ask to speak to person in charge of your file.
Iv called in so many times and everytime they say there is noone to speak to and I need to just wait ... they tell me I'm welcome to call back in 30 days ... asked for a email contact to the CFO in charge of my file and they say no
