A few more days after my original post I noticed an International charge but it was in Fort Francis and not Thunder Bay where I had sent my paperwork. I'm guessing Thunder Bay was overloaded at this time of year and forwarded some to relieve the load?? Another good reason to send months before and not just a few short weeks at the busy time. " I am sure as you say they have a busy season time period.
Mocha	06/05/2017 07:18PM you would need to produce the document to immigration people, not the rangers.. that's not their area of the government, plus they are also too busy selling fishing licenses and reviewing maps with people.

Kiporby	06/01/2017 12:22PM With the amount of times you've been through there Dave, I'm sure Janice won't even check yours. :)

They even said if it did not get here soon, just let them know and they would fax it to me. Good luck!" Same experience for me a few years ago. They called me and corrected my mistake over the phone. Very easy to deal with. They invited me to call them with any further questions.
JLW	05/24/2017 12:44PM Give them a call. There is a number on the application. I had to call once and a nice guy answered after a couple rings and looked up my file right there.

I'm sure it will Mike and thanks...I just got into a little panic mode when I saw that Alex's was processed over a week ago and the other one wasn't even charged to my bank yet. Or maybe I've been denied??? I don't remember any illegal activity over the last year?! j/k" LOL... try in your lifetime!

hexnymph	05/23/2017 01:46PM I just called them since mine hasn't shown up yet and I leave in two days. I sent it on 4/24-ish. They simply faxed it to me. I love Canada! Hex
RC	05/23/2017 12:59PM On my RABC Application for it reads: "At least 3-4 weeks in advance of your trip, mail the completed application . . . to"
Wallidave	05/23/2017 12:53PM I had always sent it in early too but with Alex's college schedule and some other issues we might of had to cancel so I waited this year. Thanks again for the info...
Wables	05/23/2017 08:28AM quote QueticoMike: "I always send in my request in Jan. just in case it takes longer than 6 weeks to get it back. I think it took less than 2 weeks this year. They probably don't have much going on in Jan. so they get to it quicker. Just something to consider next year." I do it when I get my first reservation of the year, usually mid January, and hound the rest of the group for the next 3 months to get theirs submitted. It's much easier to do it right away.

Mocha	05/22/2017 09:56PM they state it could take 4-6 weeks for processing. give a call to the office where you sent it, they are pretty good about checking into things. once i mailed mine and didn't include the credit card info. they called me, long distance!, to get the card, ran it while i was on the phone, and then mailed it out. i had it in a week.
Wallidave	05/22/2017 09:25PM So I mailed my RABC application and the one for my son(19yo) on the same day...Late April. They were mailed separately due to the amount of paperwork and I thought it would ease confusion. Anyway I just received my son's permit today 5/22 with a receipt from 5/13. I checked my bank and I still haven't been charged for another(mine). What's my best option at this point? We leave 6/11. Thanks, Dave walleye are biting at home in Illinois but I need my Quetico fix :)
