So I called the RCMP just now. Spoke to a nice lady. I've called them 3 times so far, and every time the person I spoke to was nice and helpful, I can't stress that enough.
The lady told me that my PAL/RPAL application is in progress, that there is nothing missing, and they have sent my picture for scanning. She said it can take over a week to get the picture scan done.
I asked if my references could call in, and the lady explained that this is no longer required. She said that once the application is sent to the Ontario CFO (after the picture scan is done), they may call my references, if they feel the need to do so. She said to call back in a week for an update.
The way I understand this process is that the RCMP just receives your application, checks for completeness, takes your money, scans the picture, then sends the whole package to the provincial CFO for review and approval. Why the CFO needs to approve this and not directly the RCMP, I'm not sure why. The Canadian Firearms Program, the safety training and PAL process is a federal mandate by law, so I don't really understand why it has to go the provincial level for approval.
My application process so far (Ontario) :
CFSC/CRFSC course : March 21-22
Stamped test results received from FSESO :3 weeks later
PAL/RPAL application sent to RCMP Miramichi : April 23rd
Application received in Miramichi : April 25th (Day 1)
RCMP charges $80 on my credit card : June 4th (Day 40)
Application appears on the RCMP website (in progress) : June 4th
June 6th (Day 42) : Informed that application in complete and picture has been sent for scanning. It will then be forwarded to CFO for approval. Told to call back in a week.
So thats mean the timelines depends on CFO, not on RCMP. Continue waiting......Quote:

Why this process has to involve two agencies at federal and provincial levels is beyond my comprehension.
45 days just for admin work......Quote:

Unfortunately once you’re assigned a CFO, they must be the one to complete it once they start it. So in some cases, we may be waiting out the application while they take holidays.
