Hi everyone,

I’m from Calgary…I applied for my PAL/RPAL back in March 30, 2022. It’s been 156 business days and I still haven’t received anything.

I can the 1-800-731-4000 and doesn’t matter which time of the day. It just hangs up.

Is there anything I can do?

Have you tried checking the status on the RCMP site? I submitted in Aug and I finally saw the approval that it has been issued on the website late last week.

For simple inquiry about status call that number and select ext 1040. They usually only have 30-40 mins wait. Also try first the online website
