Still waiting for my PAL license (Ontario):
application received: january 7, cc charged march 1
status on RCMP website: "We have completed the initial review of your firearms licence application. If additional information is required, you will be contacted. Please check the status again at a later date. "
CFOON response to my email: "Your application has been forwarded to the province for standard review of your background. Due to the high volume of applications we have a backlog, and your application is in the main queue to be assigned to a Firearms Officer. At this time, we are not able to provide a date of completion."
Any advice?
