Haha one of my interviews I couldn't use, so I am waiting for a form in the mail and then send it out again with new reference.. the other interview was done and mine aswell.

Received: june 29
Online: July 17
Now I wait for form in mail..then send it out again..:bangHead:
 
You are in BC sent in june 8th and it was approved? I like the sound of this as that was the same day mine was received as well. Though still waiting for mine to be approved :D Another day or so won't hurt :D I hope.. lol
 
Woohoo! finally got through to an officer, no messaging machine. She approved it over the phone and was able to provide me with my PAL number as well. And time to drain the bank account now!
 
Mailed mine regular mail June 25th and it was issued today.

Now I have a week or two of hoping the CanAm ammo/1911 deal doesn't sell out.

Does my RPAL number stay the same? I upgraded from a regular PAL. When buying a handgun, will they need a photocopy or anything else? Technically I'm an RPAL holder but without the card for the next week or two.

Call the CFC and ask for you License number. Then order your Firearm online.

I went into Ellwood Epps today, and its policy to have the card(in this case, your new one) in hand before purchasing a gun.
 
How long does it usually take for your application to appear online from the day you mailed it out? 3 weeks is the average? And can you phone in for your interview once it goes up?

My licenses has be issued since Firday. :):):D

I'm from BC so who ever said it could take up to 4 months I don't think that is true. They received my application on June 8, I think everything would of been on time if I didn't forgot to answer a question and one of my reference called in sooner since he missed the phone call.

Just because your experience was satisfactory is no reason to doubt what others report. Every case is different.
BC has changed dramatically in the last year, and it may be worse than Ontario now.
