Quick question about phoning in to check on my application. I mailed it in mid-February but my credit card that I used on it is expiring in June, and TD sent me a new one already but I haven't activated it yet. I want to use that as an excuse to call in and check the status of my application and see if I can hurry them along by saying my CC is due to possibly expire before they charge it.

Who do I actually call? Is it the Canadian Firearms Program from the from of the PAL booklet?

I was told they are now processing PALs received the end of February so your card should be processed now.

Number to call 1-800-731-4000

I called them on Monday and the guy I spoke to said they were 'not quite at February yet' so hopefully you're right! I posted mine mid-February so they probably received it third or fourth week.

Fingers crossed my guy was right, said they started processing Feb 20 this week 😁
