Shorten PAL Approval Times

Read the first post in this thread.

Thanks I read the first half and it seemed he didnt he talk about the registration part.

"For Ontario residents: you can send in your application before you get your stamped CFSC results back from the Ontario CFO and get the 28 day waiting period started earlier than if you wait and attach the results to the application. Questions 20(a) and (b) each have a box to check if the exam results are enclosed, so you would just leave that blank. Probably also worthwhile to include a note that exam results will follow. The 28 day clock starts once the application is received by CFC. If you wait until you get your 'stamped' safety course report(s) back you have added that to your waiting period."

Is it worth it now to mail it in? I mean I have alerady waited 28 days, how much longer can it take?
 
There are all kinds of threads on here about the time it takes to get stamped results in Ontario. Take the time to read one of them then can make your own decision.
 
So its been 2 weeks since I mailed off my incomplete application (it was only missing the test results).

Should it not have shown up as recieved by now? Also, how long does it usually take to get the letter saying the application is missing something?


Thanks

As per my post above mine was mailed and posted on line within just a few days.

I sent it registered mail. That way someone must sign for it and it goes directly into their hands. I assume that normally sent mail ends up in the mail room and they get to it when they get to it, and in no real particular order to which it was received.

Just my thoughts though.

I spoke to Them numerous times, had my refernces call in, and confirmed this past friday that my app was done and that day 28 would be november 4th.
 
Hmm I guess I should have sent it with rgistered mail... I am under the impression that the 28 days starts when they recieve it, not when it shows up online so assuming it was not lost in the mail, these two weeks should still count, I think...

I may be wrong but i believe posted on line is the date they received it, at least in my case the 5th of october was my "starting" date.

Hopefully yours is in process and it is just that their IT guy is asleep at the wheel!
 
I'll wait another week and then call them. Afterall I still dont have my test results, I just wanted to get that 28 day waiting period out of the way...
 
Mine just appeared online after a week and a half AFTER it was signed for via ExpressPost. It did say, day received as the day it was actually received so at least te 28 days have already started :)

Thanks alot for sharing your experience. It is really reassuring...

They must be under alot of stress right now to push these applications through. I wish I would have done all this stuff back in September.
 
No problem. When I talked to him today, I asked if anything was missing or wrong and he said no, that it would show up at that time if there was a problem. I also asked if I could do my interview now to move things along. He told me that I couldn't yet as my application hadn't been scanned into the system even though it was showing online, etc. He told me to call back every couple days and as soon as it's scanned in, they would be able to transfer me to the group that does the interviewing. I'm just trying to nudge the process along a bit, I have a safe full of accessories already bought for an AR15 and handgun :)
 
All I want is for the thing to show up as recieved online. Such a kick in the pants every day when Im told nothing is online yet... 2 weeks its been already.
