Is 7months wait normal for waiting for a PAL to come in?

Submitted my shit 7 months ago and haven’t heard back since. Should I try and get in contact with them? Or is this normal? I’d love to be able to buy a gun before all of them are banned lol

Same boat as you. Dec 14 received, cc charge January 27. Contacted rcmp in April said it was at CFO. Contacted CFO in May got generic it's in question to be reviewed. Emailed my MP end of June they said not much they can do. Than got an email again from MP on Monday asking for all my information and letting them call on my behalf. Hopefully after 7 months them contacting will push it to the finish line.
