PAL Wait Time

So what exactly does the CFO in your province do with your application mine has been their for a while now but won’t give me any other info other then my photo and signature has been accepted and they say it’s in finial stage !?!

From what I remember the provincial CFO doesn't seem to process the application, but are informed on the status of the application, if that makes sense.

No don’t make no sense lol last I called all they told me is its at your provinces CFO and is in the finial stage photo and so forth approved but in finials no clue she wouldn’t say much seemed busy
So they just review the application and send it back to rcmp or?

Yeah its ridiculous man, you start to wonder if there is something wrong with your application. You'll get it! Hang tough👊🏼

Exactly. I have a squeaky clean record too so it certainly is unsettling... hurry up and wait seems like the only solution.
 
Quick question that maybe someone could answer with one sentence.
I had my bank send me a new CC after I sent in my application. who should I contact in regards to this issue?

right around the 4 month date of you sending your application call the cfp. I they are unable to charge your card your application is delayed until you pay, but they will tell you that via snail mail. I didn't pay enough (paid an upgrade amount but htat was only allowed within 3 years) I only found out cause I checked online and it said "you have been / will be contacted" I called them right away and got it sorted out.

This just happened to me last week. I got issued a new credit card and was dumb enough to activate it with new expiry. The payment still went through, thankfully last Thursday. If you have a new credit card number, the best thing you can do is keep a very close eye on your rcmp login and when they get to it, call immediately to fix. If you call too soon, they will just say they haven't gotten to your application yet and to check at a later time

I had the same thing on mine, they emailed me about missing information and to call the 4000 number, dealt with an extremely nice lady first try but their system was down, so I called back later and dealt with a guy that time and it went through, both were friendly and a pleasure to deal with

Thanks! Fingers crossed for you get a quick turnaround also once it gets entered into the system.
Just got my number so I got some shopping to do and a wife to make a nice dinner for lol
 
i dont know how they could slow a process that already moves slower than a snail get even slower

Just think all the time is tax payers money.... my guess is they do one application, take coffee break, chat about news, then take lunch, go back to application... forgot which one then repeat. There has to be a way to automate then flag only ones with issues.
