Timeline on RPAL intake to issue?

I did my course back on Feb 5/6, mailed April 1, received April 7, and credit card charged on July 7 (today).

​

When should I expect my RPAL to be issued? I am in Ontario

It's going to be at least a month after CC charged. Then another 2 weeks to get to you in the mail.

  • Course Jan 6
  • Charged CC April
  • Card in the mail July 4th

I may have been a bit longer as I had to disclose I was laid off during the pandemic in the application form. Right on there it says if you choose yes for any of these options you may be subject to further review. So, plan 7 months worst case from application date

Hopefully mine doesn't take much longer than yours. I had to check off a couple boxes and one was like you got laid off work due to covid.

Yea 7 months then I can’t imagine it being any longer as long as your record is clean.
