Hey man recently did my CFSC course and waited the 3 weeks for the email with the link to apply for my PAL on the myCFP site. I was wondering after the 28 minimum holding period did it show you were approved online during that period or shortly after? And how long did it take for the card to come in the mail? I’m super excited I’ve been thinking about getting my pal for over 12 years now so the anticipation of waiting is brutal! 😂

Mine took 8 months to come. Its sadly just a long process. I got 100% on both theory and practical tests, I applied online, enquired with the CFP and my CFO frequently but still had to wait it out.

My friends who applied over the last year made it sound like the process was different from how I applied recently. I got my course results in person then waited 3 weeks for a email with a link to apply for my pal on myCFP where I needed to answer a bunch of questions give two references and one reference for my image which I also had to take a selfie and submit online so I applied for my PAL completely online end to end not sure if the process was the same for anyone else as I believe this whole online system is very new over the last couple months?
