My RPAL was just approved:

Timeline is:

  • reached RCMP (signed for) - April 11th
  • processing started - July 11th (+3 months)
  • approved today - July 26th (+15 days)

I plan to call and ask for the number, so I can get some purchases in motion. Now, I'm crossing my fingers for a rhino 60DS not in some garish colour to show up.

Let me know if successful. You need expiry date too to order, but someone told me you need to have your card in order to buy legally but perhaps that's only in person?? Ahh all these regs for noobs. I'm exhausted lol

Once you have the number, you can login as a license holder and all that info will be on there. My expiry date is my birthday 2028.

Expiry date should be your birthday, + 5 years (in his case, 2027)

What province you in?

Alberta. I think there's a pretty big shortage of Rhino's in North America. I've been looking at Arsenal Force (out of stock) and a few large gun shops in the US (out of stock).

Did you get hit by a letter asking for another $3.23 On top of the 80 you already paid?

No, I paid by CC. I felt this was the least risky for the process, as well as giving my an indication when my application started process.
