That’s a fast turn around for 35 days. I’m around 52 days now.

Sounds like this is your first PAL/RPAL. What’s first on your to do list?

Yes, my first RPAL! Getting my Sig Sauer and Bolt Action Rifle. Then, range membership and target practice!

[Whiteannerdy]

What model sig/caliber are you after?

Bought the Sig Sauer P226 Mark 25 Navy Edition 9 mm Luger- Waiting for ATT to pick it up.

Also, bought the Savage 110 BA stealth 300 Win Mag bolt action rifle with a NightForce 5-20x56 scope

Waiting to complete the range membership and orientation process and then start target practice!

Completed my first day of orientation at the Stittsville range! Shot a 0.22 calibre rimfire semiautomatic pistol and a Glock 17 with the range officer. Now getting ready to do my first target practice with my rifle on the 7th of March!

Just got my renewal in the mail today. Took all of 15 days! I pre-emptively emailed the CFO my proof of range membership a couple days after I filed the renewal online.

If anyone's PAL is up for renewal at any time in 2018 you might want to renew it now before C-71 becomes law in the Fall and creates a massive backlog.

Especially if you have 'events' in your pre-5 years ago background you'd rather not divulge/discuss on the application.

The CFO/RCMP probably know about them anyway and if they mattered you wouldn't have a license to renew but they want to bait you into lying so they can disqualify your application and probably charge you for giving false/misleading/incomplete information on a license application so you won't be able to get a PAL in the future.

Nobody knows what kind of 'booby trap' questions will be on the 'new applicant' & renewal applications so best to renew NOW before c71 becomes law.

Did you make sure you included any range memberships or your purpose. Because that will delay it.
