Finally! Supposed to arrive in 2 weeks my PAL.

I was checking every day and finally decided to email the CFO and literally he answered in 20min saying it is approved and the website updated as well. So if you are waiting a long time try emailing them. Phoning does not work

I did this about a week ago, actually, because my renewal's been taking months, and I'm worried that I'll lose my transfers if my license expires. I got a reply the next day that they forwarded my renewal (and my question about losing my transfers) to the CFO (Ontario).

I haven't heard anything else yet, and the application is still in progress, but it's at least encouraging that they responded so fast.
