Initial review is done on my PAL/RPAL application, does that mean I can start calling my province's(AB) CFO? Or do I just sit tight and wait?

​

Edit: Nevermind, just checked my online banking this morning and my CC got charged! Should be another couple of weeks/month right?

When did they receive your application?

Also give it a week maybe 2 before you bug the Cfo, it might sail through quickly. But seriously what’s your timeline so far?
