Donny lucky you,
been waiting since April for Photo Queue since the beginning of July, and just got off the phone, no idea when processing will upload my photo, and RCMP Call center has no idea when it will be scanned.

Mine was sent in on March 24 - online - and I've been checking every couple of weeks and still not approved. They have "completed the initial review of my firearms license application. If additional information is required, I will be contacted. Please check the status again at a later date".

That's all I get since they took my money on March 24 - I was charged on the day I did my application.

dang that's good time! I called for an update on my application (received Feb 3) and was told the avg application time was 9 months :')
Going for PAL/RPAL from no license, no boxes checked.
 
Ontario update:

Sent application April 26, 2022. Now July 4th, still no credit card charge.

Personal accounts are so varied... some people get their licesnce in under 5 months. Others it takes 9....

Ive been checking my credit card for a charge everyday for a month now. Anyone else similar dates?? and situation?

Ive called many times. The lady just says its expected to be a long delay. Nothing to worry about... Please hooooooooooooooooold...
 
Update on a non-restricted application from Alberta:

Date mailed: 31 March, 22
Date received (according to online system): 5 April, 22 (still amazed that Canada Post took only 3 business days to deliver it to NB!!)
Date appeared online, initial review complete: 5 July, 22
Date approved, card issued: 21 July, 22 (credit to the Alberta CFO for the speedy review and approval - she's awesome)
Date received in my mailbox: 4 August, 22 (exactly to the day promised on the online system)

No references called. I never called the call centre; they never called me. Good luck to all still waiting - I hope yours are processed as fast!! :d
 
Time line so far for new licence pal/rpal in ontario
Revieved jan 17 2022
Cc charged march 17
Stuck on completed initial review since april, no refrences call yet...

Ive been unabale to get though to the call cente for 2 months now, either there is too high call volume and the call ends immediately, it drops after waiting 30 mins on hold, or after waiting on hold it tells you theres a system error and ends call. Im only able to call on fridays after 2pm because of work schedule . Last time i spoke to a information officer was the beginning of may and they said that my application had been sent to cfo already. Should i bother calling anymore or just play the waiting game?
