I am guessing I get charged at the beginning of the process so I probably get to wait another month?

My references haven't been called yet. I was told to expect that since I am going for the RPAL.

What is your typical experience time-wise?

Did they actually call his references or is listing them just a formality?

I have nothing to hide but I am surprised my references haven't been called yet. Odd...

The conjugal partner bit was a bit surprising though. I don't know if they would ask that down here in the States.

Are you a dual citizen or foreign nation? If you are a Canadian citizen too they just run you through CPIC(Canadian Police Information Centre) to see if anything pops up.

Negative on the dual citizen. US passport only.

They always say 45 days.

They tell you 45 days. But my RPAL was issued exactly 28 days after they received it. They processed the CC within a day or two of receiving.

They did email me to clarify one item on my app right after they got it, said to call them. While I was on the phone with them, they gave me my application # and said to go ahead and have one of my references call in referencing that number to expedite the process. Once issued it took about a week to get to me from Miramichi.

Good to know that they actually email - I will make a point to be on the lookout for that. Until then, let the waiting continue!

Still waiting.

They definitely called at least one of my references so far.
