PAL Wait Time
- Thread starter rgh470
- Start date
Has anyone seen a list of firearms that will be leftover after this outrageous C21 ban passes? As much as I want to be optimistic that it will get thrown out the Liberals have appointed their friends all over the place to help push their agenda and I'm assuming it will pass.
On behalf of this coalition, the Liberals added a disastrous amendment to Bill C-21 effectively prohibiting several million additional, individual rifles and shotguns. These new prohibitions will include the SKS, Tavor, X-95, all AR180 and variants, Canuck bullpup shotguns, Crusader Arms, Kel-Tec Sub2000, SU16, RDB, RFB, JR Carbine, Kriss Vector, Ruger PC Carbine, Norinco T97 NSR, Benelli M4 and countless more.

I emailed the Ontario CFO and received the following generic response, with misspelled words included:
Atleast it was signed "Kam"
I also called them a few times yesterday, and Ext 7503 goes straight to an unchecked mailbox, as does the general inquiry line. That is new. I guess like most government offices they are rarely prepared to handle the misguided policies of the PM/MP's.
Back to the switchboard!

Eastern Ontario. I doubt I'm flagged, I just find these differences in processing times bizarre and wildly different from one officer to the next. One approves them 15 minutes after emailing them and the other takes 9 months. Government is so very efficient

Yeah, it's frustrating. They told me last week that I'm in the "queue " and should be approved this month and if not call in January and they will assign an officer....
Wish this whole application process would be explained a bit better...
Just wanted to post my experience, since it might give more insight into the whole /kam thing.
First time PAL and RPAL application in Ontario. Clean record, just speeding tickets from when I was younger.
Application sent: July 22 2022
Application received: July 29 2022
CC processed: Oct 4 2022
Emailed the CFO back in November asking if my application had been flagged, or if they required more information.
2 weeks later, still no response.
Figured it might have been due to my lack of information (didn't think to supply birth place, etc.) and because I emailed from my work email, which is different than the email I supplied on the application. So I emailed again, this time from my home email, and supplied all the information they might require (literally copied an email posted in this thread a few pages back), and within 48 hours (December 1 2022) I received an email saying "Thanks for your email. Your license has just been approved, yadda yadda... /mvc"
Then, yesterday I receive an email from the CFO in response to my work email requesting more information to look up my application, only its marked from "/kam".
So it might just come down to whoever responds to your email, and not who is actually assigned to it? I'm not sure. Maybe I dodged a huge bullet by sending another email, and getting lucky enough to have /mcv respond first. Either way, I'm relieved to finally have it approved. Big thanks to this thread and forum!

I have no idea who /MVC is but he/she is a credit to the CFO's office and is responsive and professional in his/her response. We need more MVCs in this world...
Mine took 30 days to arrive
