I got my PAL APPROVED FINALLY !! Received April 29th 2022 Cc charged July 29th Approved October 3rd

I emailed a cfo officer in Ontario like her personal work email and she approved it.

My suggestion to you guys is just to email your CFO and ask when the cfo received your application when they reply just be like “thank you may I please have your name?” When they give you their name usually they put their CFO work email and number with extension.

if you’re in Ontario and get somebody named KAM he is not going to help you from what I notice

Mine was received May 16th. RCMP website says initial review done. Haven’t been charged anything yet. Maybe phoning helps. It’s getting annoying waiting. I’m in Alberta.

Mine was received June 22 and I literally got the card in the mail today. (In Ontario.)

If you’re in Ontario and phone you won’t get anywhere, from what I’ve been seeing on canadiangunnutz and here is that BC approves the calls but I’m not sure about Berta

Congratulations! But unfortunately for me and others in Ontario there's just no way to know when we'll be approved, calling or emailing doesn't work from what I've heard so we're straight out of luck for a long time.

Yea I would not recommend harassing the CFOs on their personal emails en mass, or repeatedly trying silly questions with different people, unless your timeline is abnormal. It will just take up capacity and slow down other processes.
