Shorten PAL Approval Times
- Thread starter calalta
- Start date
I used my wife & a friend. PAL & RPAL. When I saw it online ( day 21 ), I called & received my application number. Had my friend phone in same day. Asked him if I was stable and had any anger issues. Did not ask for wife phone in & did not interview me. On day 28 my license was issued ( March 16 ). This is day 6 since issue. Not received it yet.
holy #### you got your licence issued fast. Mine is on day 36 and still nothing. Had reference call in and when my second refrence went to call in they told her they only needed one reference and that my application was now with the CFO for review. Bear in mind I did check off one of the boxes in the personal section regarding peace bond. dammit lol.
The system works!!!
45 days exactly, this included not having my refrences sign and having them send back my appication and resending it too them. Was able to call (on hold maybe 10min) was provided my number and expiry over the phone. Super friendly and even said congratulations it was approved today.
I did not call in, my refrences did not call in, This was for Ontario and for my PaL and RPAL.

I called & they gave me my License # so I can give it to Gun Range I joined. Said I could not buy any gun restricted or not online, till I actually have ticket in my hand. This is the first time I have dealt with Gov. that everything worked out with no problems, so far.
I received my course report and went to fax it to the number that was provided to me on the notice I received in the mail saying that I was missing the course report. I tried doing this around 7 pm, and the fax wouldn't send. If you call the number on your phone it actually rings forever. Do I have to fax it during there office hours? Did they maybe forget to leave their fax machine on?
If you see something you like, or a preorder or a sale item. You can buy it pay for it in full and they will hold it for you until you have your Pal. I did it with the Derya pre orders (lol might regret that). My Derya shows up tomorrow now even with 30 more people on the waiting list because I paid in full for the first round shipment.
hey guys,
So my application is being sent from Miramichi to the CFO, if I undrstood correctly. The lady said on the phone that theres a 28 day waiting period from when it gets to the CFO? My application has been online for a week now, and I sent my application initially without the course report to get the 28 day waiting period(Which I thought was from when they get my application). I called after faxing the course report and she said once they get it, theyre sending my application to the province and then I have to wait a minimum of another 28 days? Was she mistaken? I am ontario and applying for a PAL for the first time.

It's a 28 day minimum from the time its first touched, you should be able to see a file number of its online or call and recieve one. The 28 days is a mandatory wait, it does not mean anything more than that. Depending on the application it can be approved in 28 days, some have taken a year or more. 45 days is what they are shooting for if its a perfect application and no history check marks.
Mine was exactly 45 days till approved and it's two weeks from there to recieve the physical card. Onterio first time Pal and RPal.
Thanks. I dont understand why these call-centre employees dont know how it works.
