I think there is a fair bit of mixing apples and oranges here. People are giving time lines and not mentioning if it is a renewal of a PAL or an RPAL, initial PAL or is it a RPAL (big difference as far as CFC is concerned), and in my case it is for Minor License's for my two sons.
Either way, I still can't figure out how I can apply online for a new Birth Certificate, pay the fee online and have a new Birth Certificate (in hand) in THREE days.
I was also able to get an enhance driver's license (in hand) in less than two weeks.
I haven't done passport recently, but I suspect it is a matter of only a few days?
What the hell is this 2-3 months bulls**t for an operation that had $2 billion dollars in seed money?
