Someone fucked up then. RPAL and PAL technically aren't two different things. 'Restricted' is an endorsement on your PAL. In other words, you get your PAL with a restricted endorsement on it.

How much did you get charged on your credit card? Did you get charged the joint fee or just the PAL fee? If you got charged $62.42, then that's the PAL only fee. If you got charged $83.23, that also includes the restricted endorsement.

I paid the $83.23.

I would contact your CFO office immediately and let them know someone screwed up, especially if you're trying to get a handgun before the freeze.

Is the CFO separate from the RCMP who issued the licence?

I believe final approval of your license goes to your home CFO
