Just got my PAL approved today! I know this question has been asked before but I wasn’t able to find it when I searched today… do I have to wait for the physical copy to come in the mail or am I able to order online if I so choose at this point? Which number on the RCMP website represents my PAL #? Is it the same as the application number?

Edit: Ontario — Sent April 28, CC charged July 30, PAL approved yesterday or today (Aug 15/16)

You can order with the number, I don’t remember how it’s displayed but it will be the number with .0001 in front.
