Does anyone have any recent experience with the wait time once a PAL only application gets to the Quebec CFO ?

I'm already at 49 days and it has been there a week and a half according to Miramichi.
 
From what I have read on here they don't like that very much and won't let you do the interviews that way. From the sounds of it speaking to a few people at the CFC it's not guaranteed that I will have an interview.
 
They generally do not do interviews for non-restricted PALs. Since your application is already with the QC-CFO, it's just a matter of time. New PALs are not likely their priority. If you must know, call the QC CFO directly.
 
Well, Call to CFC and let them transfer to CFO in Quebec. It took me 2 minutes that time, they approve on the phone and give me my PAL number right away. R-PAL will be a bit different though.

I'm only applying for my PAL. Did they interview your references ? or just yourself ?
 
No, not even an interview to myself, it's just a PAL. Relax man, most of the time they approve right away.

I've had to wait for many things when it comes to Government agencies my whole life but I think this one is the worst wait ever lol considering I have a new shotty sitting at Londero in St Jean waiting for pick up lol

St Jean, not far where I work, I can always pick up for you :)
 
Well the plan was for a friend from Ont to do it. Since he would not have to register until I brought back into the province. It would great to start shooting it though as soon as possible.
 
Waiting time are the worse they have ever been. Arm yourself with... a lot of patience.

Have an RPAL and several restricteds for several years. Yet it took nearly 5 months for my wife to get her RPAL last year and that is with immaculate records and both ex-service. RPAL course taken in January 2012, paper received mid June 2012. All contacts on application were checked by CFO. CFO/SQ even ask wifey if she was forced or felt obligated to get her RPAL by me!!! Please note that she was an Anti before shacking up with yours truly.
:dancingbanana:

About your application, most of the work is done by the SQ (Qbec CFO) and they are understaffed since early 2012: because of LG registry being pulled and fearing for their jobs being canned (civilians - not cops), 2 retired and 3 migrated to other functions. It's been hell of inefficiencies since. Evidences are that correcting the situation is NOT a priority by all SQ, Liebtards that got flushed last elections and PQ that have the same distorted mindsets on shootings sports as their predecessors.

Since your asking for just a PAL, there is less verification. It will come. Be patient, have a beer, stay out out trouble, have another beer, do your RPAL, another beer, shop for more guns, another beer...

What you can do is expedite your case by calling Miramichi, politely ask on status. If waiting on SQ disposition, kindly asked Miramichi to transfer you to those speeding snails. Once you have them on the line, introduce yourself with reference numbers (your application no.) and ask for status. They will tell you what you already know (busy, overwelming volume, short staffed...) Verify that they have you application in the waiting piles. Kindly ask if there is anything you can do to expedite or prioritize your case. Be nice and courteous, you may end up on top of the pile. Try to get their phone numbers and repeat process every 2-3 weeks. Squeeky weel gets the grease.

Good luck and have clean fun with your new shotty.
