RPAL Application received April 4th and my card was charged July 5th (live in BC). Status now says initial review was completed. What are the next steps and how long has it taken people from this point to get their card in their hands? Do I have a shot at buying a hand gun before the bill passes? Feel lucky I did my course when I did good luck to everyone.
