Pal/RPAL Application taking very long time… I sent in my application January 29, it was received February 3rd and has been sitting at the “initial review complete” ever since I could view it. From Ontario, why is it taking so long I’ve seen other people get theirs only mention contacting MPP, is this a new ‘necessary’ step to actually obtain it with everything going on currently?

I wouldn’t feel so concerned if this didn’t have to do with career advancement 🤦‍♂️

Just call your CFO and ask them if you can help. They'll direct you to RCMP if the file is still with them. Unless you have problems (criminal past, indicated psych issues on application, bad reference) then it's highly unlikely you'll be denied and your paperwork is just stalled. If you don't call it won't get unstalled.
