Have you renewed your Pal?

[Bugle M In]

Strange how it varies?
I only realized a week before it expired at end of January this year.
But I have my new PAL for a couple of months now.
So probably 2 month wait I think it was.

Mine still states it will be 2 weeks, first started in March

I filled it out on line and it took about a month. Seemed pretty straight forward.

I went down to our MP office ( Mark Strahl ) talked to his comrade Davis explained what is happening in detail and filled out a Information Consent form ... they are on it.
i started off with a email yesterday to Mark ... early morning .... two hours later I received a reply ... hopefully someone gets a fire under there Azzzz !!

Bullschittt !!!!!

My son applied for renewal of his PAL in mid of Dec. 2022 and had his PAL arrived on Feb 02 2023.
I applied in mid of January 2023 and had to call few days ago to get my renewal moving forward. My PAL has expired in March. The very next day after the strike was over I was lucky to reach someone in FED office, they told me my application is waiting at BC department /office (or whatever) and they forwarded my call. The lady was very polite and told me they are behind and still working 2022 renewals, and than she processed my application and said that in 2 weeks I will get my PAL.
Only difference between me and my son is that I got couple of handguns registered , not sure if that caused the delay,
but in any case if you do not get status online updated after 2 months it is good to call.

Renewed non restricted online. 3 weeks for the online status to say approved, card is on its way.

Davis emailed me today from the MP office ... after his inquiry , the Provincial Chief Firearms Officer approved my application today.
It will be mailed out shortly he said.
Thank you “HappyJack” for the tip .... : )

7 GAWD DAM MONTHS!! Just advised it's now at the printers, will have it in 2 - 3 weeks... Making it closer to 8 months.

Use your time wisely and act accordingly. I also got my MP involved in looking into it. Sad when we almost have to do the same thing. Fed Gov (aka Lib) so fkt up.

Good to hear Ltbullken , did you have the restricted as well.
This is my 5th renewal going by my last digits .0004 previous ones were anywhere to a month to 2 months.
I have no idea as to why it’s so sporadic on renewing.
Anyways I was thoroughly impressed how it was looked after and if there’s some out there waiting, see your MP
Had I not done this who knows how long I’d would have been waiting.
