Ontario pal/rpal timeline

App received - July 25 Cc charge - sep 29 (initial review complete) Licence issued- Oct 6 or 7

Called Ontario CFO at 7:05 this morning and was surprised I was put in que. Call was answered at 9:25 and I was able to get my pal #

Super lucky with how fast the processing time was when it started . Here’s hoping marstar starts the transfer before anything bad happens. I had pretty much given up having any chance of owning a handgun.

Call marstar while they're open, give your order number and request that they put the transfer through for you while you're on the phone and give you the reference number. Do it asap because you dont want to leave anything to chance
