PAL to RPAL Update.

Home: NB

Took RPAL course on July 16, 2022

RPAL delivered (tracking) to processing centre in Miramichi, NB on July 19, 2022.

RCMP Website shows the 1st update as of this morning September 26, 2022:

"We have completed the initial review of your firearms licence application. If additional information is required, you will be contacted. Please check the status again at a later date."

My credit card shows as charged September 26, 2022 as well.

​

Hopefully this thing gets done before the changes.

Just over 2 months? That is an improvement.

just wondering, does the Centre in Miramichi, NB really just bulk process the applications (ie no red flags on name run in their systems, collect the application fee) then pass off the remainder to be processed by your respective Provincial CFO?

Nice, mine was received on July 22, CC still has not been charged. Hopefully in the next few days. Then onto Ontario CFO and a few more months wait time.
