I am currently trying to upgrade to restricted and hoping that they don't ban handguns in my province by the time i get it. I already have my non restricted, I am upgrading, and it is saying that they received it 11 days ago, it is done processing and it is now in progress. What does that mean? does that mean they are looking at it and doing the background check right now? this is way quicker than my non restricted, does the one month wait period for the background check starting still happen if you already have your restricted?
Upgrading to restricted

Yes, it will take a min of 35 days. Most of the time it depends on how you sent the payment, money order through Canada post is the best gets the government their money immediately any other method they have to wait for your funds to process and in turn so does your application.
Tip given to me from my CFSC instructor.
It sounds like they have recieved your payment and they are proceeding with the application. Good luck.
