WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!? How.....

[SwifTst]

Okay so I sent my PAL paperwork in a month ago, and just now I recieved a letter in the mail that reads:

Thank you for your application under the Firearms Act.

We have reviewed your application and found that some of the information is needed to process is either missing or invalid. To keep your file open and under consideration, we must recieve the missing information by the due date shown above. Otherwise your application will not be processed.

The missing information above is: Firearms possession acquisition licence application

I don't get it... I know it was in there, and I didn't put a return address on the envelope, so how did they get my address? I thought maybe because I had to tape the envelope closed because the sticky part wasn't sticky anymore that maybe Canada post opened it to inspect. But that doesnt make much sense... So my question is WTF?

ok thats wierd

I sent it sealed in a tamper proof envelope and then overnighted it by courier with the courier envelope protecting the inner envelope.

So call them, 731-4000 and ask wtf? We can't help you but they can.

What province are you in?

If your in Ontario, they probably got your address from your course reports that we have to send with the application.

 

[SwifTst]

What time does their phone centre close? I want to call them RIGHT NOW

Call them in person, there are thousands of reason for things to go wrong, it could be as simple as few questions missing, conflicting answers or they simply can't read your hand writing.

I am in Ontario. But if that's true that means someone at canada post has my application, and credit card number.... And all my other info

Thanks man, I'll have to wait. I just have no luck with this type of thing. When I got my passport, they screwed up big time

 

[SwifTst]

Sometimes I think god hates me - I feel like that pissed off german kid video on Youtube.... Okay maybe not that bad but still

LOL nice. I saw a pic of him, and the Evil emperor from star wars side by side, and I swear they could be brothers lol (Don't mean to offend anyone)

well at least their open monday-saturday.....keep us informed

 

[SwifTst]

Okay I just got off the phone with them. There was two things I left blank on my application. One I corrected over the phone, and the other I have to mail/fax in. I left them blank because they didn't apply to me. Word of advise people, fill in EVERYTHING. Even if it doesn't apply to you. Thanks guys

I usually just put N/A or not applicable in such blanks

 

[Hadrian]

That is very strange...

 

[Tex Critter]

Very good, hope it doesn't take too long now.

 

[hbean]

glad it was that simple, it is always a good idea to put down "N/A" so they don't have to second guess your intentions for leaving it blank.

 

[SwifTst]

Well I sent the fax 3 times just to be sure it worked I hope they call my references ASAP now. Got a date with a hot SKS once it arrives
