Ontario

Applied online for first time PAL on December 17, 2022.

Application processed and license issued February 7, 2023

I was never able to log in to individual web services so I was calling in about every two weeks. I called the ON CFO about two weeks ago (and waited on hold for almost 2 hours) and she said she put some kind of a note on my file. Not sure if that made a difference at all.

I had also emailed the ON CFO some time before that but they never replied until I got an email today saying it was approved.

Now to wait for my card to get printed and mailed.

Did you applied for PAL non restricted or restricted. ? I applied RPAL on 17 Dec 2022 and still waiting for an update. :)
