PAL/RPAL Timelines

[Haywire1]

For future readers of this thread:

There is a mandatory 28 day wait. They won't even look at your application until those 28 days are up. Make use of that time!

actually yeah they will, after it shows online, wait a week and call in, ask if there is any info missing. i was told my PAL was approved, they were waiting for the 28 day to expire. the 28 day period only stops them from issuing, not from processing.

58 days here with one phone call.

Not great, but definitely not the worst timeline I've heard.

My PAL and RPAL also only took the minimum mandated 28 day waiting period.

It was getting my LTATT that made me grind my teeth and pull my hair.
30 days and it was done in ten minutes when I walked down to the BC office in Surrey after work.

At least I am now the happy owner of a taurus pt92!

Took 150 days from them receiving my application, to me getting it in the mail. No references were contacted, nor was I. I even phoned in once to check up, and was met with little explanation, so i just left it alone. Mid November - Late April. This is just for my Non -Res.

So they interview the references? lol, Maybe I shouldn't have sent my buddy a thank you card titled "Thank you Constable Stupid Face" with my application for him to fill out and sign. hahahah.

almost 3 months just for a friggin renewal...we need to axe the bureaucrats at the provincial cfo level...the feds were done with it in 2 weeks

I mailed mine mid January, reference #1 was called a month later, same day as my phone interview. Reference #2 was mailed a letter and asked to call in, that was about 2 weeks later. Once she did that it was only a few more days for the status to change to approved, and I had the card in my hand for mid March.

And here's the link to check your application if no one has posted it yet:
