Apparently here in Ontario we don't get our certificate on the spot. It goes away and we receive it in the mail 4-6 weeks later. Lucky us! So thats why I was asking because wayyyyy back at the beginning of this thread it was suggested that we send it without the certificate and then send the cert once we got it. Basically if we wait we are 6 weeks behind in line from every other province even if we took the course on the same day.

yes, you can even send your application before you take the courses, i mean you have to be confident you will pass for sure tho.
yeah it is a common practice to send it before certificates arrive in ontario, just put something like "attached separately" in the proof attached section on your application form, or write a separate note saying you will send it in the future, this way you cut down your wait time by whatever fseso plans to hold on onto your certificates
we mailed our apps and they got it aug 17. charged our credit card yesterday, dec 1. how do you know you've been approved?

Did they give you your PAL number over the phone? or do you have to wait until it arrives?
Any chance your application shows currently received/processing on the RCMP self service page? I sent my application on December 28th and still no updates. Looking at this thread, it seems like the wait times are quite long...
No unfortunately not. I’ve been seeing people whose applications were received in the first week of October being processed. So maybe mid to late March if things continue at this pace. Possibly even get it mid April?
I mailed my application out 14 of march 2020 and got a call on the 24th of December from the RCMP asking me for a extra dollar because they razed the price
the end of march. and she said to me she was passing it off to the CFO then still has not changed status. hope this helps out. this is what mine shows.
