Hey guys, so about 8 months ago I posted on here asking if I would get approved or denied with having charges that were stayed and dropped 4 years ago. well myself and my girlfriend sent are paperwork in at the same time and they were both received on the same date, she ended up getting approved for her PAL. Hers came in the mail about the first week of March and mine still says it's "completed initial processing. It is now in progress" I understand that they will more than likely investigate my situation from years ago but i wanted to reach out and see if there is a way to contact the CFO about this, I've called the number on the RCMP website god only knows how many times and it's the same thing every time "sometimes it just takes longer" so if someone could help me out with a number or an email that would be greatly appreciated. I live in Saskatchewan by the way and I dont know if we have are own CFO or not or how to reach them. Sorry for the long post but any info is appreciated!!!

If you call the main call centre at 1-800-731-4000 ask them to transfer you to CFO Saskatchewan. Even ask them for the extension number so that you can call them directly without having to go through the main line.
