Full RPAL Timeline (Alberta):
- November 28/30: Non-Restricted Safety Course
- December 3: Restricted Safety Course
- December 4: Application Submitted
- January 2: License issued
- January 30: License arrived in the mail
I am located in Alberta and I checked "no" for all questions that could hold up an application. The application was done using the online system (not mail in).
I also called in last week on January 23rd and the representative told me that I would get my license in approximately 3-6 weeks due to printer issues, so I was very shocked when I found it waiting for me in my mailbox! Hopefully if you were told something similar your license is on its way :)
