just got confirmation from someone on my RPAL course of July 16, 2022 in NS.

He is a PEI resident, just got his RPAL mailed to him today.

I do not know his specific timelines but it is about 13 weeks from when he took the course, my guess is he was slower in sending in his application than me, by about a week.

So my guess is 12 Week timeline for him in PEI to receive his physical RPAL card

Same 12 Week timeline for me in NB to receive my physical RPAL card.

That's about half the time as some of the other provinces (though obviously much less of a population), very nice!
