Day 28 - Card billed Feb 5th
Day 51 - Status updated too “completed initial processing. It is now in progress” Feb 28th

Day 107 - Contacted by my CFO to setup an interview. April 25th.

Same here, license was issued last friday. And the FX-9 is also on my list. Other than that, a good turkey shotgun will get me started.
shopping online, much more cheaper, especially on those websites with low provincial tax rates.
So i just received my PAL today. It's valid until 2024, so that's nice.
It says on the card that standard conditions are attached to the license, so I'm not sure why I should also carry around the piece of paper that came with it as there are no special conditions or any other information on there...
Anyway, I'm happy.
Good luck to all those still waiting.

It's just the notation on the back of the card that says what you are allowed to posses and acquire, i.e. restricted or non. You don't need to have the paperwork with you. But keep it in a safe place anyway.
The strange thing is that it says on the letter that a LEO may ask to see both. But the piece of paper doesn't have any more info than the card as I have standard conditions.
The card is easy to carry in a wallet, but the paper...

Once you are a member of any gun range, provide the range membership information to the CFO. You will get a new license that will have standard condition written on the back. That way you do not need to carry the paper with you. In simple words your LATT is attached to the license.

How long does an RPAL application typically take once it gets to the Ontario CFO?
I mailed mine in to Miramichi mid May, and they got it a week later. Showed up on the website "received June 26th" and status: processing. A couple days later it changed to "Current Status: You have been or will soon be contacted about your application. If you require more information immediately please contact the Canadian Firearms Program Toll Free number. (1-800 731-4000)" I called that number and they confirmed the application was sent to the CFO office of my province.
I've read here and elsewhere that some people got their interviews a few days after this change and its been about 3 weeks for me now. I'm a bit concerned as I am leaving the country in early August and am gone for a month, and won't have the phone that I put on the application on me. What do?
