Re: Have you renewed your Pal?
Here is my experience attempting to get through. Maybe this might work for someone else. My application stalled so I made multiple attempts to call the CFO. You either wait on hold to have the call dropped, call in normal hours to hear 'our office is currently closed' or 'all our services are available online'. Finally got through to someone by going with 'press X to make a payment' option. Figures since they have staffing to take payment but not to process applications. Person at the other end was exceptional, really lucked out. This made the difference at getting my application through. Hope this helps.

The last time I renewed it was processed after my PAL expired and the new PAL expires just under 6 years. My birthday is in July so it didn't affect hunting.
It was my bank that noticed the expiry since I use my PAL as ID whenever I can. It's on the list of approved picture ID.
Re: Have you renewed your Pal?
6 f***ing months... still waiting on renewal! >:( I've called the MP, called the Firearms centre, etc. There are no problems or flags on my file, I can assert that confidently. This govt is absolutely fkt.
Re: Have you renewed your Pal?
I received my pal 5 months after it expired, yet my new one expires 5 years from the old expiry so I paid full price yet got less than 5 years use from the card. Screwed by the government again
Re: Have you renewed your Pal?
Doesn't sound good to me. Renewed Feb 11 and it expires next month.
Looking up the license status is no help either, "...Completed initial review..." and not much else.

Good trick!!
Re: Have you renewed your Pal?
My PAL was set to expire January 2023, I submitted a renewal online the last week of October 2022. Received my PAL mid November 2022. Took about 3 weeks.
Re: Have you renewed your Pal?
There's no consideration on what's renewed quickly or not.
Wife and I applied same time April last year, I got mine in August, hers in December.
If yours is delayed, call your MLA
Re: Have you renewed your Pal?
Well I feel better knowing it’s not just me getting ignored. Sounds like there are many similar stories. I guess it’s just luck of the draw if they get around to you. It’s sad that all of us are trying to stay within the law but I don’t know how I’ll feel if it’s not here by hunting season. Hopefully this thread gets some attention to people needing to renew and keeps them from having an expired license.
Re: Have you renewed your Pal?
Just got mine yesterday. Took 4 weeks.
