Ohh my mistake, I was thinking you were taking post CFSC and CRFSC (I think because you said your license expired). Not that I plan on letting mine lapse, even if I haven't taken them out for any length of time, it's good to know the safety course only needs to be taken once.

Renewed online 2019-03-28
I decided to be proactive, So, next day, on 2019-03-28 called the 1-800 number, asked if they would be requiring proof of Range Membership. Guy on the phone asked what Province I'm in, said yeah probably, gave me the e-mail address for, I assume, the CFO in Manitoba. Said email a pic of my range membership with Name, address, DOB, PAL #, and that they'd know what to do with it.
Checking status online every day and today 2019-04-05 ..............tada!
Current Status: Your application has been processed and your licence has been issued. If you have not received your licence within 2 weeks please contact the Canadian Firearms Program Toll Free number. (1-800 731-4000)
7 Days (including a weekend) ............. not too shabby!

My timeline for Ontario so far..
February 26th - CFSC
February 27th - CRFSC
March 1st - Application mailed (without course report)
March 6th - Application received in Miramichi
March 28th - Credit card charged
- Application in system, missing report
- Course report faxed
March 29th or April 1st - Application in progress
Called today and they said it was with the CFO but they wouldn’t tell me when it was sent there.
Hoping soon but I’m not too hopeful as I checked yes to 16d.

Don't wait, call the CFO, they won't be mad, they'll do a quick interview, stamp, stamp, mail! DONE! Mine was sitting on the bottom of the pile after a few months, called, issued SAME DAY! Get her done.

My Ontario PAL/RPAL timeline
August 31,2018 - My 10 year gun ban expired
Sept 15/16 - Took the CFSC/CRFSC courses with guns.to (for the second time)
Sept 23 - Received the CFSC/CRFSC test results/paperwork back from the course
Sept 26 at 1:46pm - Mailed PAL/RPAL application with supporting documents and letter explaining why I had to answer "yes" to question 16. C) “During the past five (5) years, have you or any member of your household been prohibited from possessing any firearm?”
Sept 28 at 2:26pm - Canada Post tracking shows application received at MIRAMICHI, NB
Oct 29 - Online PAL application status updated to "processing your application"
Nov 13 (46 days since they received my application) - Status still "processing" so called firearms center, they said it's been processed and is now with the CFO for approval. They suggested I NOT call and harass the CFO.
Nov 20 - Status still "processing" so I call the CFO. He looks over my application and says my PAL is denied because CPIC says my gun ban expires in 2021. I explain that that's impossible, all my court stuff was finished in 2008, if it's a 10 year ban, can't be until 2021. I have the $55 RCMP criminal record check printed out, shows expiry August 31, 2018, are you sure? Want me to send it to you? He says he'll look into it. Calls me about an hour later and says I was right, CPIC was wrong. Good thing I called. Boom, license issued. No references called. Said he would update CPIC in case I get pulled over with guns in the car and it shows up I'm not allowed to have them, could go real bad if that happened.
He told me my license number and expiry date but I don't want to start ordering guns online incase they start showing up before my card does, damn Canada Post strikeNow I wait.

Don't take "we'll call you back" as an answer. Ask them "What is the name of the officer that's holding my application?" ... "It's so and so." ... "Can I please talk with them now?" if they aren't available get their phone extension so you can dial them directly.
Is theft under $5k fraud related? There are three things they consider for denying your license, fraud, violence, and sexual stuff. If it was withdrawn I don't think it should be an issue but prepared with exactly what happened to cause the charge, dates, times, people. Don't lie about anything.
Good luck!

Hey Jamie
No it is not fraud related or violence or firearms related whatsoever. Its just in CPIC. Well then i should be fine because it is nothing major.
Update
So i called today and inquired about my application and i was told it was assigned to the officer and she will look at it tomorrow. They would not give her contact information so i guess i am calling back tomorrow
I dont know. I was told that my case is assignedto officer and she was not in today. She said the officer will call me something... i would not be surprised to get denied since I am in Toronto capital of liberals.
Update:
After 75 days since they received my application today i was approves over the phone. I will have my pal handy in two weeks

Awesome news man! Glad they did a phone interview and you got approved! Did they ask you about the theft charges?
