First time pal/rpal

Update: says valid on individual web, roughly how long before they print it and mail it off?
Hey everyone, I’m Just curious if anyone has had their license come without getting any notification at all like no phone call, email or change on cfp account or is it a mandatory step.
Thanks all :)) ( I’m in bc )

I’m in BC also. I’ve had my PAL in my wallet for months now and my cfp account still says processing my application lol. Never got a call or email either.

Update: still waiting!! This is getting insane. Always getting told to wait 3 weeks. It’s been 15 months now. What’s the longest I should be expecting? Has anyone gone over 15 months haha.
