PAL Wait Time

So I just called CFB and played dumb like I knew nothing of printer breakdowns.
The website says my license was issued April 17th
The lady put me on hold for a good 3 or 4 minutes then came back saying that my license hasnt been printed yet but that she would look into it and get it printed in the next couple days. No mention of printer breakdowns, delays, month long back log.
Have they just resorted to telling people what they want to hear now as opposed to the printer story or do you think she will expedite my process somehow.
The call center must be busy. Took a lot longer to get through this time.
Exact same thing happened to me! I called on monday so I will be calling tomorrow to inquire. I asked about the printer and she said there was some delays.
 
Mine was issued April 17th. Been calling somewhat regularly getting the printer excuse. Last week the lady told me she would put a request in for it to be printed within 5 days. Called yesterday & they told me it was printed on Mon!! Checked the mail box 6 times today! Lol
 
I mailed my application 18 days ago, can't find anything on the check your status page yet...does that mean they haven't received it/entered it yet?

I called on the 13th and was told the same thing. As of this afternoon it still hadn't been printed though. Long weekend going to mess things up!

Don't worry

Your application will show normally after the 28-days legislated waiting period, It should appear online the moment your Credit Card get Charged!

Personally, my CC got charged 25 Days after they received my Application at Miramichi and appeared online the same day!

Make sure to enter on the (check your status page) online all the exact information you did write on your application otherwise you will not find it...

And then you will see something like this :
=======================
Licence Application Status Results
Application Number: **-***********-**

Application Received on: 2019-05-23

Current Status: Your application has completed initial processing. It is now in progress. Please check the status again at a later date.
=======================

After that, the fun begin... you can wait between 2 Weeks up to 7 months... I lurked this Thread alot and came up to the conclusion that (Where you live / What you did in your life / timing / LUCK...) will influence how long you will wait :p

Ps : the (Application Received date) I put as an example might be what you should get ;)

I’m in Quebec. I made a demand to upgrade from a PAL to an RPAL. CFC got it on March 12. 56 days from now. They made no call to my respondents, no call to my wife. Nothing.

I gave a call to the CFC last week. They said my file is on the Quebec CFO for the next steps. Again, no call to my respondents or my wife.

According to what I read here, I should prepare myself for a loooonnnnggggg wait. ��

Still waiting. 66 days since Miramirichi got my demand. Their 45 days service standards are a joke. And I already have a valid PAL..

Congrats brother. Nice list. 226 is next after the shadow. Thinking the legion, but I heard the finish is no good. Walther Q5 Match SF is on the radar as well.
