@ November 2022, Son sent in all his Info and such for his March 2023 PAL renewal.
He started following up on it early 2023, "No problems, it's being processed."
Then it was "You have some "notes" on your file about depression and being on Ativan, we're following up on that."
Son told them he hasn't been on Ativan for over 10 years, no issues.
He has no "infractions", nothing. Not even a parking ticket.
March 2023 renewal date passed, no renewal, called every month, "it's in process."
Repeated calls, "It's been referred to the BC Office".
He called me @ a month ago, it arrived in the mail. Renewal date is almost 6 years, not usual 5.
So, for hunting season(s) he took a fellow hunter along to "supervise" him. Was successful in his deer and bear hunting, but what a PITA.
Mine renews the end of this year, maybe I'll send my renewal in soon.
