I haven't checked since the 17th until today, so there's a chance that it may have been processed some time between then and now, but online status tells me it's been issued.

Are they REALLY not calling references on PAL applications due to COVID?? My file has been at the QC CFO for 2 weeks now... If they're not calling references, what else could be going on with it?
They're using it as a replacement for toilet paper
no one here has mentioned having refs called for about a year now i think. What are they doing with it? It is like a symbol of how busy they are, nothing more. They will hang on to it as long as possible to milk the scamdemic for all it is worth. Like a city worker holding a shovel so they have something to lean on, not to dig anything with it. Effing union workers cant live with them and cant light them all on fire and put them out with a bus.

I am not saying nor implying that I'm the boss or a boss here. It's just simply a friendly reminder to everyone and so other people doesnt really have to check the threads all the way back. This is all about us tracking progress, comparing timelines and sharing important tips.
I dont know how my comment affects or impacts you. Keep your cool brother. Nobody is the boss here not even you.

Welcome to CGN.
in all seriousness, I am glad you posted your timeline as I am Alberta also and October 29th, so it is nice to see I have at least another 2 weeks to wait for my upgrade.

My CC was charged on Monday (March 22nd) and was visable at the same time. I immediately wrote my reference number on my course results and faxed it in. As of a few minutes ago (Friday March 26th) I still see:
[FONT="]Your application has completed initial processing. It is now in progress. Please check the status again at a later date.
[/FONT]Question to anyone that faxed their course results in the same day it went online: How long did it take for your status to change to approved?
If they didn't receive the fax or there is another problem will the status change to some other message or will they try to call/email/mail me?
Thanks

Once we get to the "completed initial processing stage", everything should be ok with your application to send off to your provincial CFO for verification and reference check (they don't always check references based on what I've been reading). I've read it could take months before it goes back to the RCMP for license issue.
It seems the Ontario CFO is quite quick based on comments I've read, and QC CFO having one of the longest wait times (i.e. months).

I'm on the same time line as you. But I mailed my course results in with the rest of my paper work as my instructor gave them to us same day.
From BC. I'll update when approved.
Visible online march 22. Initial processing complete
I had a money order so no cc charge.
As of today hasn't changed.
Thanks for the update. In Ont we don't get our results the day of the course. They get mailed to us. It took 2 months, so to speed things up the consensus for us is to get the application in and fax the form in once it goes online (so we can put the reference number on.
Waiting and wondering is sooooooo fun
AB applicant
Received: Sept 24th
CC Charge: Jan 14th
Issued: March 26th
6 freaking months. I had to call twice. First time I called approx 1st March they said the photo wasn't verified yet but all looked good and she'd put a note on my file to get on with it.
Called again 2 weeks later. Same response.
Second phone call did the trick and they got it verified and sent to AB CFO.
Makes you wonder, if I never called would it have just sat there forever?
