So i lost my pal in like may. I reported it lost/stolen immediately and when i applied for a replacement i applied for my restricted simultaneously (i took the course)
I received a letter saying that they needed more information regarding some areas of my application, (i assumed they would have it on file because it was the same letter i sent them originally) so i printed it out again and sent it back.
It's now been several months and i haven't received anything. When i check on the website it says they've received it and they will contact me if they need any more information. I'm starting to get upset because i've not been able to purchase or carry any firearms for this duration.
So is my PAL number still valid even if the card is reported stolen? Can i buy stuff online? Should i call the Alberta CFO and see if they can expedite the process? What should i do?
