Well it takes a lot to impress this old guy these day's, my PAL expires in Sept so I thought I better get at it given that there are lot's of threads about it taking 4 - 6 months or more.
Mar 1 - Send via Canada Post Snail Mail
Mar 6 - Received and given Initial approval
Mar 15 - Credit Card charged renewal fee
Mar 23 - PAL issued and mailed - post marked Mar 24
Mar 28 - In my hand this morning.
Fastest turn around time in history for me:
In 2024 it took 27 days
In 2019 it took 94 days
In 2014 it took 108 days
Either they are getting more efficient or they are just taking pity on us old guy's, I'm impressed
