PAL Wait Time

Ontario no update, update:

Mailed early January
Received end of January
CC charged early April

Still no further progress. When I call, "No one is available to assist you, we're sorry etc etc" and just hangs up. Would like to go hunting this season, but highly unlikely it will get done within the next couple of weeks. Lost or stuck somewhere with Ontario CFO, but seems no way to get information on what the hold up is. Congrats to those who got theirs, even though it seems some applications were sent it in after mine. Contacted my local mpp, but doubt they can help. No idea what else to do at this point.
 
spoke to the CFO's office in Ontario and they said it could be up to a 9 month wait.

good news i guess is that mine is at the final step but just needs to be looked over quickly by CFO.

Even if someones Rpal comes in in the next week, almost everything restricted is out of stock or going quickly since the import ban last month. Stores aren’t able to restock anymore. Once inventory is out, it’s gone for good.

Received 22Jun
Shown on portal as completed initial review on 10Sep
Credit card charged: 10Sep

Status unchanged for past 12 days so far, patiently waiting....

*grumble about stupid ban that'll do absolutely nothing for crime rates*

So do all applicants get a phone call or random? Do references get contacted?
 
Here is my status in Ontario
Application received may 5th
Cc charged and initial review completed august 3rd
Still waiting and i dont think i will get it anytime soon some people got it 1-2 weeks after the cc charge some have been waiting for 6-7 months, system is incredibly unprofessional and unorganized. As far as i know cfo’s dont even do background checks so i dont know what could cause them to work so slow and unorganized (at this point only if you are extremely lucky you can get it before trudeau’s useless ban on recreational handgun shooting)
 
My timeline (Alberta) for upgrading to a restricted Pal from a non-restricted:

June 28th - Both my brothers and my application sent via Xpress
July 4th - Application received.
Sept 14th - CC charged for both applications.
Sept 14th - Status changed to we have completed the initial review of your firearms licence application.

I'm checking daily and I'll update once the status changes.

Does anyone know if I can purchase a restricted when the status changes to complete and the license is still in the mail? As I stated I already have my non-restricted Pal and to my knowledge the license number doesn't change.
 
For Alberta, coming from one of the two cfo in Edmonton, that they are 2 months behind,
That they are now starting on Aprils application.
Unfortunately you can not purchase a restricted until you actually have the card in your hand is what was told my the CFO.
You can depending on the firearm shop do a deposit until your actual license comes in.
