Congrats on getting yours.
Just curious - when people say application received, was that verified because you had tracking on your mailing or sent by Fedex? Or are you notified by the CFC?
I sent my application for RPAL in by overnight Fedex and it was received on Sept 21, but IWS only shows the date my last PAL renewal was issued in 2018.
When the app status changed on IWS, did you get any notification in your email of a message and to check IWS? Or do you continue to just randomly check IWS?
Congratulations bro!!!
Still waiting on mine.....License issued on IWS: Oct 11, 2022.
Rcmp received application in June, charged credit card sep 12th, got the card on Monday, Oct 17th
Just FYI, I called this morning hoping for a status update - and was put on hold! I feel like that's a development since my last few calls all went like this:
We apologize for not being able to answer your call. We are experiencing a higher than normal call volume. Please call back at a later time. Many of our services are available online at www.... Then the call just ends abruptly.
Maybe now that handguns are banned, they're starting to process PALs and take calls?![]()
P.s. I wrote that update on hold. As it turns out - I even got to speak to someone!
I was hoping to confirm my application was complete since I know it slows things down if the RCMP mails you notice that something is missing. Apparently she was unable to confirm receipt of my mailed renewal application (expired PAL) from three weeks ago.
Well, you are probably in the same boat I am. Mine was sent by Fedex overnight and confirmed received via tracking number on September 21. I log into IWS and the last update was when my regular PAL was renewed in 2018. Other posters here have indicated nothing will change status wise until your application envelope is opened. And that apparently, can take months...
I log in every day, just to see if there is any movement.
I tried calling them today, and after navigating through a series of menus, it said high volume of calls, try back later, and hung up.
It takes them approx 3 months just to open up your envelope! IDK what are timelines now. But mine was delivered on May 25, 2022 & it showed up on IWS on August 16, 2022.
Ontario here ! App. recieved - 8 Apr. 2022, CC charged-july 06,2022. Initial review completed since then ! Nothing. feeling sick of waiting .
