PAL/RPAL Timelines

I phoned last at the end of June and they advised to phone back at the end of July. Hopefully it will be approved before then!

I saw on CGN someone had called their CFO office yesterday and their application was approved after doing so. So I got the # from same (we’re both from B.C.) and thought I’d try calling as I had nothing to lose. I got through today on my second attempt and was asked a couple questions and was advised my background check was clear and they’d work to finalize my application. Within 1-2 hours of that phone call my application was APPROVED! FINALLY! After almost NINE MONTHS! I’m so happy and relieved. I’ve been researching firearms for nearly a year now so it’s fantastic I’ll actually be able to purchase and enjoy them now! Thanks all.

Hello everyone.

I wanted to know if anyone has recently applied for PAL?

I have started the process this month and wanted to know what to expect

RCMP site says there is a 4 months delay

Online renewal was under 3 weeks, maybe even under 2….
