(Ontario) Does anyone have any experience with resubmitting a photo with the RPAL application? Notes below

  • Received Jan 24
  • CC charged March 07
  • Resent new photo March 31 as requested by CFP
  • Called every 3 weeks, told to call again in three weeks every time

Anyone have any idea how long of a delay I should be expecting (I realize these are unprecedented times)?

Thanks everyone.

Same thing happened to me..online @ RCMP website stated something about transfer in progress..I called in, they said its done at RCMP, being sent to CFO, try again in 3 weeks. I call back, they its at CFO awaiting..maybe a day later I got an email saying it was approved and on the way..week later it arrived (this was Feb or so..whole process took like over a year for me due to fuck ups on my end)

In Ontario too. Me and another user here both had the same issue and our resent photos were received both on January 11th coincidentally.

He got approved on April 2nd and mine is still pending. To be fair I checked mental health for stuff I went through as a dumb college kid.
