Does anyone have any info on a timeline to receive their RPAL/PAL in QC/Quebec? Is it the same as other provinces ~4-5 months? My credit card was charged last week and the initial review is complete.

All licenses go through Miramichi so it's the same for everyone the country. If your CC was just charged, I'd expect another couple months.

Yeah but from what I understand, the local province CFO is the one who follows up with the application after the initial review by the RCMP, correct? They go ahead and call references and do a background check. The times vary per province, from what I’ve read

Restricted purchases go to Miramichi --> Local CFO. For your actual license, I believe everything is processed in Miramichi.
