I'm applying for a PAL & RPAL license for the first time. I sent in my application about a month ago. When I go on the website to check my application status, it says they don't have any information that matches the data.
I called last week and got through to someone who said to just wait until they charge my credit card and then call back a week after that. I just want to know that they've received my application, but he wasn't able to give me any information about that.
Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong when signing in to check the status? When it asks for my first name, last name, and place of birth, I'm capitalizing the first letter and the rest lower case. Is this stuff case sensitive? I've tried a few different combinations and have not had any luck.
