Shorten PAL Approval Times

Month five of RPAL adventure, I'm starting to go insane. Food is scarce, and the cabinet is starting to complain about the lack of firearms to be stored inside. Yet again the orc targets approach without a way for me to take them out, I'll have to use my KaBAR.

The thought of addressing the master directly is tempting, though I'm sure it will dismiss me and tell me that everything is in process just like the last time.

Oh Canada

May 13 - Rec'd at Miramichi 3 business days after mailing via snail mail
Forget the rest of the milestones but theyre somewhere in this thread
Status changed to license issued!! sometime this morning... On a monday?? Whaat
 
So I was just grabbin' a beer and thought I'd sort through the mail in the mail basket and aside from 26 pieces of junk mail, 2 bills and this queer looking envelope I was originally going to relegate to junk mail when hmmm I cracked her open and to my surprised eyes what do I see but a tiny little card with some really ugly buggers photo on it... wait thats might just be me... Look in the mirror and check the card yep I'm 85% sure it's me; Damn I'm an ugly sum #####...

So after exactly 1 short week of waiting my new license has come in... I'm going to assume the license came in today but I haven't actually sorted the mail basket since last Monday so it could have come any time before today but when you get an average of 30 pieces of junk mail a week you don't really check the mail all that often, I'm really looking forward to getting a super box this fall then I'll just check the mail once a week and junk my incoming basket that I dump it all into...

Perhaps the status actually changed on Friday and you didn't check it on Friday?
Wondering if this Friday thing is a myth or a fact.

Called today and transferred to BC CFO, told I have to wait mandatory 28 days. I confused. The 28 days waiting period should be started while they received my application but not after my application sit at BC CFO. Anyone has same situation?

It's a 28 day waiting period after it's received in Miramichi, not the provincial CFO office. Call back.
