PAL/RPAL “notice” A friend and I did our courses in October 2021. We got our certified results back in early December, and I submitted before the end of 2021. I had my RPAL card at the end of March. My friend sat on hers for a couple of months, but submitted in February 2022. No card, nothing online. With me pushing her to look into it, multiple calls to the RCMP and Ontario CFO, she found out yesterday that she was approved in May 2022. The card has been sitting in a postal depot in Mississauga for 9 months. If nothing is showing online, they have taken your money and months later still nothing, call the CFO. You’re not being a pain in the ass, you are doing your due diligence and following up on your certification.
