you can try call CFO and check if they pass your background or if there's any issue with ur application. If everything is good, its just waiting for a CFO to approve it.

How did you know it was approved? Got charged earlier this month

u/O8S1S Jul 28 '22

On the RCMP individual service it will say your license has been issued and you should received within 2 weeks

u/curiousfryingpan Jul 28 '22

What is RCMP individual service?

2

u/O8S1S Jul 28 '22

The website we use to check the status of our application

Wow did not know this existed, thank you!
It says "application process and the license has been issued". Is it just a waiting game now?

2

u/O8S1S Jul 28 '22

Yep! It should take about a month between CC charge and issue date so give it about 2 more weeks before contacting the 1800 number on the website for a reissue

u/curiousfryingpan Jul 28 '22

Awesome, thanks so much for the info! Really appreciate it.

I was billed on July 6th, so it's been over 2 weeks. Might try the number just for fun

u/Regular_Speed2124 Jul 28 '22

Congrats! Is that an upgrade from PAL or first-time application with PAL/RPAL combo?

2

u/O8S1S Jul 28 '22

Thank you! It’s a first time RPAL application
