When will my PAL come in?

I sent my application in February, It shows on my credit card that the payment went through in mid May. How long does it usually take after the payment has gone through?

Heard of up to nine months mine took only 12 days

when i first got mine it took a while. about 6 or 7 months i believe. they are quick to take money, sending what you want back out takes them a little time though lol

although when i put mine in and i called they said they were backlogged and didnt have many people working at the time.

my best advice is to call them and ask if they need anything else etc.

seemed to speed my application up.

As Bowjob said, call them and check on “status of your application”.

Some questions:

Is this your first application? It takes longer than a renewal and COVID is further slowing the process.

Did you answer "yes" to any of the questions? The CFO will be in touch for further information.

Have your references been called? This is usually an indication your application is being processed.

I'd suggest calling them to find out the status of your application.

you can actually log in to RCMP site and check the status. it shows when its mailed out.

PAL/RPAL application renewal submitted by snail mail takes months. Applications done by internet takes a matter of days.

True for renewal but new applicants usually have longer waits.

Yup this is my first application. I did the course 10 years ago but only used archery as I didn't even see a point with all the stringent firearms regulations when hunting in SW ontario.

One guy I know took 9months plus he’s had his pal 36 years and works gun shop well he had to leave till renewal came through

This is the phone Number I use to Call the CFO in Ontario, best to call as early as possible they open at 9:00.
It can't hurt to call. I call them every time I renew and every time I bought a restricted.

Cheer up, I've been given to understand that some indigenous groups are still awaiting settlements on land-claim treaties that were initiated decades ago.

You don't stop hunting because you grow old. You grow old because you stop hunting.
