I called the BC CFO today and asked if there was any delays on my PAL application. They told me that no there is not, and it should be issues within 30 days.

My online application was received on December 18th and CC charged the same day.

Really hoping I can call back within a week and hopfully get my number

Same with you. Ontario. Online application received nov.23, initial checks are complete. Called the RCMP and they tell me it's in the final stage. Call the CFO and they say it could take up to 9 months for new applications 🤦
