Question regarding contacting an MP or an MPP:

I want to contact an MPP or an MP regarding my PAL application (it’s taking way too long), but I’ve never done it before.

What exactly do you ask them? Do I just provide them with my PAL application details and they’ll do the rest?

If you were me, would you contact your MPP or MP?

Is an email sufficient or do I need to visit their office?

Thank you!

Email works, I’d go with mp, and just let them know timelines and application number

My MP is a liberal, does it matter? are they obligated to contact the CFO on my behalf?

I'm not the guy who you're replying too but they should at least be willing to work with you since they're public servants. "Should" is the operating word there since I contacted mine who is also liberal and they never got back to me despite the automated reply.

No problem dude. I still recommend that you try and contact them since the worst case scenario is that you're in the same boat as me. Granted I should have sent mine a follow up email but I found out later that they were pretty anti-firearm.
