I am waiting for my PAL and when I go check the status on the RCMP website, it says that my demand has been processed and that if I didn’t receive my PAL by the post in the next two weeks, I should call.

It’s been now 3-4 weeks that I have this message on the website and I’m wondering if it is really gonna change something that I call them or I just need to wait more.

You can’t call, the line just hangs up on you.

Wild, every time the last two weeks it’s happened to me.

However, just remembered to Google the Alberta CFO extension, got on with an operator in less than two minute. 👍

I listed all the extensions again, top of this post.

Okay so their estimated time of two weeks is not really accurate
