Awesome! I'm glad you got it. This gives me some time-frame for processing. My RPAL application was received April 11th, and I'm crossing my fingers.

How do you know receiving date. Did you send registered mail or you can see details online?

u/Grimmerthan Jul 06 '22

I sent a registered mail, so date and officer name who signed. I'm checking my credit card every couple of days for a charge.

Have the charged your Credit Card yet?

u/Grimmerthan Jul 06 '22

Not yet, I'm checking every couple of days. I called them last month, because I thought the application would at least be entered into a system for tracking and I kept getting 'unknown' when I checked on it.
I simply don't know how these are processed. I expected some sort of data entry on receipt, but that's clearly not what's going on.

Apparently it only shows up on the website after they charge your card.

u/Grimmerthan Jul 07 '22

Yep, learning how their system operates, from reading this subreddit. I simply wish I'd done this years ago.

Same here man. I have quite the shopping cart of stuff I want to buy when I finally get it in.

u/Grimmerthan Jul 07 '22

I hope we both get the opportunity.

Congrats!!

The card came fast!! My license was issued June 21 and no card yet for me.

u/the-Mutt Jul 05 '22

The website said it had been approved a month before it was issued

u/Consistent-Bar1063 Jul 05 '22

Oh you got me confused with the terminology…your license was approved about a month ago and the card was printed on June 23? On the website it also says something like “your license has been issued” so I thought you meant that happened on June 23.

u/the-Mutt Jul 05 '22

It said my licence had been approved on the website at the end of March, the card said the licence was issued on 24 June

Can you say (approximately) when your references were contacted?

u/the-Mutt Jul 05 '22

They weren’t contacted, it seems to be only if needed they actually contact them
