what do you mean, "I haven't received it until today"? You got your PAL today (Jan 14 2021) or as of that date still no pal? i assume the second one.
As they said, be patient. Did you have any boxes checked? anything on CPIC? They say COVID added 4+ months to the process.
I am in BC, mine took 19 months. March 21 2019 received. April 11 2019. CC charged. October 29 2020 issued. Nov 06 2020 - RPAL received in mail.
do call them but not every week. Every 30-45 days. I am pretty sure i would still be waiting if i did not call in on Oct 29.
You will be able to see it online once your credit card is charged. Probably around late April/early May. But don’t start worrying until mid May.
Wow. At least the online renewal process is incredibly efficient! Can’t wait to be able to make use of that. But I’ve got to receive my R/PAL in the first place to be able to renew.
19 months!? Dang. Seems to be fairly consistent 4mlnths reading through some of the previous posts. But who knows what goes on in the minds of the rcmp
Quebec Here:

CC charged : 13 Jan 2021
Still waiting for card issuance. No boxes checked.
I bought a house so my DL/Health Card are at new address (for insurance reasons) and havent moved in yet. Nothing else is at the new address though and application reflects old address, we'll see how that goes.
