AHHHHH Moment

In September I did the online renewal for my pal and today while getting gear ready realized i still didn't receive it, so check website see that it was issued the same month. Phoned the supplied phone number if there are issues talked to the service rep and explained the situation and was told the following " that once my old PAL expires I must then hunt with another PAL holder until mine arrives (re-issued 2 to 3 weeks), I tried to explain that I hunt alone and there was no one else hunting on the property and asked if the card has been issued and not delivered why I cannot hunt. To which I was told the same answer holding back the urge to swear I said thank you for your help and have a good day. So kicking my for not thinking of it sooner a bright side I can get 1^st week in with shotgun maybe 2 week I can bow hunt.

And that is why I renew 6 - 8 months early.

Didn't the Conservatives grant an amnesty period of a year to renew pals? I don't think that has changed... Yet.

It took a long time for mine, i phoned and spoke to officer in Orillia she said as long as you have your application in for renewal there is no problem.
You can use the one that you have for now.
She also wanted to speak to my wife.
So i told her why don't you phone her.
Had renewal days after she spoke with my wife.

Not what the service tech on end of the 800 number told me plain and simple when my PAL expires on the 12 of Nov I can no longer gun hunt unless with another card holder, I looked around the web and apart from trying to phone them again for clarification I think i am screwed without getting kissed

Well thats not what i was told.
She clearly said that your have applied for your renewal so don't worry about the expiration date we have your renewal.
