My wife's application was received via registered mail on July 31 and it is still not in the system and no credit card charge yet. She will call on Monday.
Wait 28 days first. No point in calling before then.
i agree with sveinn84. it took that long before it showed up as even in their system and then it took 4 months from then to get approved. but each province is different i think. i saw people from BC get their approved in 28 days!

I am in Bantariotook 4 months from the time they got it into their system. so really that, plus the 28 days, plus the initial 2 weeks to get the letter from the cfo originally to say i took the course instead of the minimal time it should have taken if the system was actually setup to work instead of designed to work against us.
Corrected for you.

Correction.. they have to wait 28 days til it can be issued.. that has nothing to do with entering the information and processing it in advance of that mandatory waiting period (which is retarded)

They always say that regardless of if it's true or not.

I was told the same thing last week, 2-3 weeks behind. But was also told to make sure to call in when 5 weeks have passed from the mailing date.
Yeah I called early, for other reasons.

Gosh, are you saying there is a pattern?
LMAO
Anyone that thinks there isn't is very naive to say the least.
Hmm,well cabelas website asked for the expiry on checkout... never tried to type in my license # to see if it would let me skip the expiry, but that's ok... I just bought I nice rifle in store and will wait until I get my card in the mail... the wait is killing me, lol.
Thanks for the reply

That is crap from Cabelas.. it's not law.. and the proper response to that is calling them and telling them flat out it is not legally required.. so either you skip it or I take my $ elsewhere.. and $ is what they care about in the end.
As for your purchase... email them etc and let them know you did so to avoid their BS.
My PAL was approved today!!!! 31 days after it was received. I am so happy and can will finally be able to buy my own guns and ammo. If you are still waiting just hang in there, and if your application doesn't appear online don't get discouraged, mine wasn't online until last week and it had already completed initial processing.
Unfortunately I live in Ontario
I received my PAL last year
The beginning of this May, I completed my RPAL course
