I sent in my RPAL renewal in February, and it was listed as received and in process in early March. I've checked a couple of times since then and it has just said in process. As of this morning, I checked and it reported that there is no record of an application in process. Is this a normal message, meaning that the renewal is completed? This isn't my first renewal and there's no reason this should not have been straightforward. My license expires this month, and apparently six months isn't adequate time for this to go through...

Edit: and now the in process message is back, I'm assuming this was a stupid error message of some sort.

That is not normal. You should probably call your provincial CFO office.

Argh, will do tomorrow. I suspected something was wrong, thank you for the confirmation. This is so frustrating.
