My RPAL has been in "Initial review process completed" for a month now, the wait is driving me mad.

Feel your pain brother. Same boat, approaching 3rd week now still nothing past initial review. Crossing fingers for both of us.

Expect a 3 month wait from the date that updated on the portal.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. This is definitely something that had to be done a little bit sooner, seems as though everyone rushed to get it done last minute and unfortunately there's some gnarly delays currently.

Booked all my courses the literal day that I heard of potential ban, didn't want to leave it to risk. Sorry buddy! Still many sweet restricted firearms to choose from though, not a total loss.

Yeah at least it'll be done lol. I guess I'll be ready if ever this shit gets reverted by some future government but I'll hold back on my expectations for the time being

Dang here I thought I was getting close to the finish line. Just got my payment taken and initial review. Sounds like it will be a few weeks to months yet
