I really like the online application option. I sent mine in on 11/15 and receive my RABC electronically on 11/24; slick!


Incredibly pumped to head back to Quetico for the first time since 2019!!

I applied on July 12 and got mine via email six days later. Enabled me to do an awesome falls chain trip Aug 15-25. The most amazing part of the trip was being at Louisa falls with no one there. That has always been the one place in Quetico that can feel like a national park. Not a soul there but two Jon’s amazing!

I applied by email August 14 and got it by email August 29.
I got it just in case my plans got changed for an upcoming trip. Those plans did not change and I don't need it this fall after all, but heck it is good for all of 2023, so I'm set!

Thanks! The forecast looks very promising, which is why we are scrambling to get ready all of the sudden LOL

Have a great trip, Bill. Hope you and David have great weather. My buddy was just on Agnes a couple weeks ago and it was non-stop paddling on glass.

I got my RABC by email today, 22 days after applying by email. I was starting to get nervous because we want to leave sometime this weekend, and I just discovered that you can only get them in person at Fort Frances Monday through Wednesday. Was starting to plan a Beaverhouse entry as a backup plan if the RABC did not arrive.


Agnes here we come . . .

Really sounds like the turnaround for getting a RABC is similar to what it was like before the permit was shut down. If I remember correctly, the issuing station said to plan up to six weeks, but in reality it was usually three to four weeks.

I received mine by email today. One day shy of three weeks since I emailed the application.

Three weeks for me via USPS, came in the mailbox.

This is just an FYI for anyone wondering how long it takes to get an RABC permit.

I mailed mine in as I refused to send my passport via email. I was emailed the RABC 8-9 days later.

I found it odd, but nice, that it was sent via email when the form specifically says if you mail the application the permit will be mailed to you.
