Mine was received on the 31st of May, check was cashed on the 26th, both references and I were contacted on the 26th as well. Should be soon :D
 
Wow... That is really lucky. I waited almost 3 months on mine, with me calling in to bug them, too!

But, nothing has ever been more worth the wait, ever. :-P
 
My buddy (54 years old) has been getting the run around for 6 months from the wonderful people at the CFC. I think they must just pick names at random to see how long it'll take for them to complain to their MP's. If they delay his any further, I'll make the appointment with his MP myself and go with him.

Holy smokes! and I thought mine was going fast. Still don't have it in hand, it just says it's been issued so we'll see how long it takes to get it now.

Sorry to hear about your buddies process blacksmithden, sucks they dick some guys around like that. Best of luck to you in getting your MP involved, I've heard that can bring about results.

Aww yeah! :D Worse part about it, it will get here when I won't be here lol.
 
I sent my application in on June 1, I think, and I received my rpal yesterday. Now time to wait for an ATT
 
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!

You can send your application in BEFORE you get your test back. Just don't check the box which says, "test report included" (or something like that). If you are in Ontario, and you have to get your test reports back from the CFO before you can mail them to the RCMP, this can save you several weeks.

Once your information is on the website, give them a few days to get your information updated, do the background check and scan your photograph. Once that is done, they will speak to your references and do the interview with you. Don't wait for them to call your references, give your references the number and have them call in. Better yet: if possible, arrange for all three of you to be at the same place and pass the phone from one to the other.

Cheers,

Mine got home yesterday. I'll have it in hand later this weekend :D


Sent via davey jones from the locker.

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.
