Application / Regulation advice Lost PAL replacement

Lost my PAL (well, I lost my wallet with my PAL in it). Reported it to local RCMP detachment and spoke to Alberta CFO about replacing. Sending RCMP Form 5515 to Miramichi, does anyone have any insight into turnaround times? I would assume it falls into a different lineup than applications and should be replaced fairly quickly?

Here’s hoping, it’s gopher season….

Depends

My brother, grandpa & I took the course at the same time - sent the documents at the same time

Brother and I received ours within 3 weeks, grandpa took 3 months lol.

Never know with the government.

Applications and renewals I know are a very broad range of possibilities haha, but this is just replacing a card that was issued only last year so I’m hoping its alot quicker

They also sent me a new non-restricted when I did my restricted.

Took a week to get the proper card after that.

Never know who's on the other end... Making mistakes. Lol
