Just got my PAL/RPAL in the mail. Submitted application online February 20th, marked received same day. References contacted via email, marked initial review complete February 22nd. Approved and mailed March 20th. Received in mail April 5th. I'm in BC so six weeks if you submit onlinešŸ‘

How did you find out when it was mailed ?

My application says ā€œlicensed has been issuedā€ and that was on march 14 , but nothing in the mail yet.

Are you looking at the online portal? It should say something like "if you don't receive it within 2 weeks to contact the CFP"

Thatā€™s correct online portal, I called in shortly after the 2 weeks were up and all they said was itā€™s in the print queue and told me to wait 6 more weeks and then call again if i havenā€™t received it.

Does the online status ever update to say mailed?

From what I've seen that's the final message you get on the portal. I just got approved today myself so I could be wrong.
