When submitting my PAL, do the signatures have to be in pen? I just moved and don’t have anyone around who has known me for 3 years. Will have I have to mail my application to them for them to sign, and then wait to mail it back? Or can they fill it out, scan it, email it to me, and then I print it and submit my application?

I wish I could, but I’m a non-resident of Canada.

Then you probably need to ask the RCMP CFP.

Good luck friend.
