New PAL - a couple of questions

[topher]

It takes about a week to get on the website after the receive it, send it priority mail and they will have it in 2 days, and should be on the website 7 working days later.

Your talking renewal.. Not a new application... They tell you when you call them it will not show on the website for at least 45 days on a new application..

It use to apply for new applications as well, you call in, and they would look for your app, and get it added.

Seems our shorten wait times got a little to popular.

[Jan/12 update: it appears that due to the number of CGN users following this guide the CFC has changed its procedure and will no longer check for your application. It is still worthwhile to send your application registered so that you know the date of receipt.

I'm three weeks in sending it non-priority, isn't shown up on the RCMP "track your application" site, called and it didn't help hopefully next call they'll do a little digging..

Otherwise its crossbow for Turkey this year for me.

I took my PAL January 18 and mailed applications on the first day possible. I called the RCMP a week tomorrow, and they approved the application while they had me on the phone. Assuming it comes this week, it's almost 2 months to the day. Just glad I got it well before turkey season!

Well,you have to give them credit. At least,they're trying.

Well my partner took her course the last weekend of November and her info was in the system the second week of January a month later she had her PAL so i don't know where you got your 45 day thing!!!!!!!!!!

Just got my PAL last month, I sent it in Dec 18, received Feb 10. Just under two months. Not bad considering Christmas break was in there.
Never showed up on the web site either, so I called once; all they could tell me is it was received and in process.
