Almost feel bad posting this. My PAL renewal with restricted upgrade was approved August 6th. With my existing PAL number I made an online purchase that same day via Gun Post.
August 8th seller called in and received reference number. I called and confirmed my info with reference number that same day.
August 9th I emailed the provincial CFO with the details of the transfer and a copy of my range membership. 4 hours later we received approval of the transfer.
Again, this is for Nova Scotia which has a small population and even smaller number of PAL holders. I’m speculating that maybe my email helped or maybe them recently seeing my PAL renewal helped. But in any case I’m thrilled.
