I sent in my application for PAL/RPAL which was received Sept 9. I had the "initial process completed" message for a while and figured I was just in the queue, but 4 months is a while, especially with no obvious red flags on my person. Called in and had an agent tell me I missed a question, but I was able to answer it over the phone and was approved while on the call, and the agent was able to provide my PAL number and I confirmed it's working since I can now log in as a PAL holder.
Moral of the story: call the number
