So I applied for a PAL 2 months ago and sent all the paperwork. I still didn't receive my PAL and they didn't contact any of my relatives. My credit card has not been charged either. I sent an email to the RCMP but got no response.

So how long did it take to get your PAL?

I've been waiting for over 5 months now. I can see that initial review is completed at the RCMP web portal.

They also have a message telling people to expect a 4 month delay because of COVID. I'm assuming 2 regular months + 4 COVID months.....6 month wait.
