Ontario pal application timeline: Me(18 male)and my father both sent sent our pal application’s on July 27th.

Arrived on august 3rd.

Application statuses viewable online and were in initial review stage on October 6th.

Application’s approved and issued October 15th.

Now we just have to wait for pal card’s to arrive in the mail.

Extra information for anyone interested.We used money order’s instead of cc for payment,did not use tracked mail( not recommended btw).We didn’t call or email the CFO and none of our reference’s were called.

Congratulations, but man it is realllyy starting to grate on me, how the hell is everyone who sent theirs after I sent mine getting approved? Like seriously what's going on? There should be literally nothing to constitute me not getting approved.

I totally feel this also... I'm still waiting from a may 6 date when they finish the 28 day assessment... there is nothing yoy can do they don't pick up the phone or email yoy back only the CFO does and he can't help yoy as CFP is responsible for the application process they just issue the licenses.
