Timeline for RPAL upgrade of existing PAL in Ontario

March 20th - Application posted to Miramichi by registered mail, marked delivered Mar 23

June 20th - CC charged

July 10th - Individual Web Services site shows license issued and restricted permissions on my profile.

I assume it was actually issued on Friday, but I had no internet at home or work to check it.

Now begins the shopping. My usual LGS is closed Sun/Mon, of course, but there is another spot nearby that sells but doesn't list their inventory online, and they are open today.

Otherwise Cabela's isn't listing any stock at all. Is Tenda reliable enough these days online, I remember reading some pretty mixed reviews back sometime ago (people's online orders getting sold from under them to walk in customers).

No clue. Best of luck.

Are you upgrading a PAL to RPAL or are you starting fresh? I don't know if that makes a difference at all.

Picked out a handgun and now I'm in the 'waiting for transfer' pile with everybody else.

First time application but I guess it could be anything. I lived out of the country for the last few years so maybe that's it, I don't know
