Nova Scotia PAL renewal plus restricted privilege addition timeline:

Mailed April 13th>Received April 21st>CC Charged July 21st>License approved August 6th.

Seems pretty consistent with the ~4 month timelines posted by others.

I already have my existing PAL and my online account shows restricted privilege, so I'm going to try and purchase a restricted with that info ahead of receiving my updated card.
