    Pal renewal times

    Anyone renewed online lately? Just did mine, current one expires in a couple months. How long is the wait these days with the handgun backlog?

    Did mine by mail . Took over four months . They billed my visa after three months and then finally sent it out after I called in twice . They said they processed payment but had not gotten around to it yet . I guess with the second call they got a move on . Government efficiency .

    Did my renewal online last week of May. When I check status it is still pending.

    What happens if you current pal expires before the renewal comes through?

    Re: Pal renewal times

    About nine years ago my renewal was not coming through.
    Called NB and was told it had been forwarded to "E" Div. . . . "I will connect you now".
    Told the person who I was and he said . . . "We have a real problem with your application"
    What would that be?
    "You live on S Drive and your reference lives on S Crescent but you both have the same postal code"
    Perhaps because we both get out mail at the same community mail box.
    "Oh".

    That must have really stung that "PDSOB"!

    Had it in he week.

    I was pleasantly surprised when I received my renewed non restricted PAL in the mail yesterday. Spot on 1.5 months after sending in for it online.
