Albertan here applied for RPAL almost 2 years ago and it's still on "We have completed the initial review of your firearms licence application. If additional information is required, you will be contacted. Please check the status again at a later date." I prolonged the process by submitted a photo that is over 1 year old, so I resubmitted a fresh new photo last year then still haven't heard and forgot about this until now. Who do I call? How do I speed up the process?

​

Also how long is the window before it's too late for me to buy a handgun as the ban will take effect on November 9?
