Shorten PAL Approval Times

Mirimichi tells me 4-6 weeks just to open mail right now still.. Mine arrived 17th of Feb, still not showing up online.. Waiting until next Wednesday to get an update.

It should appear online any day now, after it does appear online give call in to see if any information is missing or needed. After that call them weekly, keep in mind they do keep track of how many times you call in.

Called in to check (Resolved my payment issue right away which is awesome, forgot to sign my credit card payment section) I asked about the references, they said that they will be ready in 3 to 4 weeks to have them call in --- I will call next week as others have..

Be happy and understanding on the phone and they seem to give the same in return the few times i've called.

When my status changed last Friday (Mar 6), They told me to call in a few weeks to see if my references could call. I couldn't wait and called them yesterday. They said to get the references to call in. They did, and now I've been told it's been sent for scanning.
 
Okay so I called the CFO again, she said my file was sent to a actual police officer this morning, I did not get his name, but she transferred me through to him, so I told him who I was and he said the file was just sent to him not long ago, and stated that if there was any problems he would call me back by tomorrow and if I do not hear from him that it was approved. I did not realize actual police officers do the final approval? or final background checks? anyone ever run into this?
