Based on all the other RPAL timelines there’s an average wait time of 3 weeks between CC Charge and Approval. As none of my references were called I am guessing it’s cause they can’t get ahold of your references?? Completely speculative but you should be approved by now. If anything give the toll free number a call!

Thanks! Just spoke with them and it's the same update as a month ago - it's at the chief firearms office for ON. i'd have thought so too, no idea what the issue is
