So I’m able to see my pal application status online and it says “the initial review is done”. How long from this point for me to revive my pal back? Also is there anyway to speed this process up? Thanks!

Give it 2 weeks, check if your reference has been called then call cfo

Awesome thanks for that. I will call them in two weeks if my references get no call.

Alberta recently has been quite quick once "the initial review is done". People have been reporting 2 weeks. Now, if you accidently screwed something up on our application, or if you selected "Yes" to any of the Personal History questions, that could definitely result in significant delay.

Before I sent my application off I made sure to triple check it thoroughly and see if I had any mistakes, I didn’t so hopefully that doesn’t slow anything down. I hope to get it before new year.
