1st post for me. I have lurked for a while.

I live in New Brunswick, I have my PAL and wanted to upgrade to an RPAL but there has not been a RPAL in NB for about 3 years.

I managed to attend an RPAL course in Nova Scotia on July 16, 2022.

I completed the PAL/RPAL application and sent it to the Miramichi, NB processing center via Xpress Post this afternoon.

I will update this comment with the timeline I experience.

1) When my letter is received by the centre.

2) when the centre shows various stages of my application on the website.

3) When my credit card is charged.

4) When I actually get the card.
