Timeline - ON Course - Dec 3 Online submission - Jan 4 Card charged - Jan 6 Card issued - Mar 20 Card recieved - Apr 6

Calling didn't do much for me. Emailing did the trick.

When you say “emailing did the trick”, do you mean to say that they replied to your email and told you that your PAL has been approved? And how long did it take them to issue your card and send it? Thank you!

I checked the online status page at least once a day. It said the same thing earlier that day until I recieved their response around noon which then the online status changed to issued. It took 2.5 weeks for the card to be in my hands.

Thank you for replying! Sorry for asking again, but what was their email reply? Was it that your card was issued?

Their email said "Your application has been approved. The license will be shipped via Canada Post within 4-6 weeks".
