Shorten PAL Approval Times

I would be on the phone asking if there is a problem

I am tempted to call, one thing when i did my interview i asked her if the license would be issued after the 28 days, she mentioned since its an Rpal it now goes to Ontario CFO for final approval. Not sure how much extra time this adds but i seems to remember another member from Ontario who's status changed right after the 28 days.
 
Hi all!
I'm in Ontario and my RPAL/PAL license was approved today. They approved it minutes after my 2nd reference called in. Literally minutes. I was 30 days in. They called myself and my references on day 28. Unfortunately, my references missed the calls. This post really helped with the info on what to do in that situation. I Thank you all very much!

Guess i will keep checking for the next 2 days lol! this is like waiting for your gifts to arrive under the tree at xmas :)

Hey Robo where do you live?
 
Still no update on my RPAL application, they sent it to the BC CFO last Monday. Lady sounded like I should still be waiting for a few weeks before approval. Is that normal?

I've been getting the same thing. It's been at the BC CFO for weeks and they told me there is nothing they can do once it's at that office. Large backlog or something. Sadly they keep telling me there is no way to tell whats going on or how long it'll take.

Okay good, I thought it was something wrong with my application or something. As long as i'm not alone that must mean there is a backlog.
 
I'm jealous of you guys. I went through this process not long ago, I remember how exciting it was. You know that there's no point in checking for 30 days but you refresh the RCMP page every hour anyway. Window shop your first gun, bite your elbows when "the deal" pops up on EE but you can't have it yet!
 
Well, here is my R/PAL timeline so far. Unfortunately my 28th day will be on Christmas eve! I have a feeling the holidays are going to slow down my overall wait, but here's to hoping otherwise.

Courses completed Nov 17/18th
Mailed express post Nov 21
Received on Nov 26 (stupid weekend!)- don't say that too often!

Still waiting for it to show up online but I figure that should happen sometime this week.

Update; showed up online today. 19 days after they received it! Here we go!

Just called in and paperwork is all good!

Update.

Just did my phone interview. If my references call in before the weekend it just might show issued online for Christmas eve!
 
Get those bribes in quickly...LOL :)

Its weird, one of references called me twenty mins after i did my interview and said he just did his even though the application said he was available in the evenings. He also said the SWAT team should be on there way! LOL! Other reference said he would call right after work. Woot!

Well tomorrow is 30 days, good thing i have my phone with me to check during the day, don't think i could wait till i got home. Besides not going to do much tomorrow as they are calling for 30cm of snow here in Ottawa.
