PAL Wait Time

Jeee that was quick.. CC charged December 23 for me, no news yet.

I'd say give them a call Monday morning, according to many members here it helps. Some of them got approved over the phones especially when there is no problem with the background.
Good luck
 
You were told you didn’t have to use a stamp!!?? Unless you sent it Xpresspost then without a stamp, and without a return address on the RCMP envelope, you’ll have to resubmit your application unfortunately. Those envelopes do NOT have prepaid postage.

Thats what the girl at thenoffice told me correct. I think the envelopes i was provided had the return address as the place we are supposed to send them...

Update: i called the place i did the course, and verified their postal envelopes they provided have the return address to the rcmp location on the envelope already so i might be okay, but have to check with the postal office to see if they were sent out or not to confirm and see if can get more info.

I also did not send my application in with a stamp - I just called Canada Post and the customer service rep confirmed you do not need a stamp.

Also, September 14 2020 my application was sent - first time applicant (PAL and RPAL) from BC still waiting for CC charge; RCMP website says error 1.

Sounds like we are next up. Will most likely follow up with them in a few weeks.

I used two stamps. 😆 I mailed mine on Oct. 15th so I’m looking forward to Valentine’s Day. 😉

Background should be clean and they even have my fingerprints for my security clearence at work. I will call them Monday morning. Thanks!
 
Not sure about new PAL applicants, but I just renewed my PAL for the third time. I mailed in the paperwork priority shipping and it took about 1 month and 2 weeks to receive my new card in the mail.

I know it’s not exactly what you’re asking, but things are moving along at the CFO. Took about the same amount of time to do it all last time as well.

Renewals are fast as usual.

I called after I got the charge as I did not send in my training papers. They told me I forgot to put my name on the picture!!! That’ll add a couple days :( I will fax everything through when I get the picture, otherwise I’d be able to fax my training papers right now :(
