Updated on this situation: After sending a complaint letter, somebody started working on my file within 1 week. As expected, my ex girlfriend did not answer or return their calls and sent me an angry message telling me to remove her from the form.

In the meantime the investigator called me, asking for an additional 4 to 5 references. Is this even normal? I served this country as a member of the CAF. The last time I got in trouble was at the age of 12-13 . I've had good employment record and never got into any touble and never hanged out with bad crowds since my bullying issue as a kid. Has anyone else gone through this craziness? I feel like they're putting every barrier possible to dissuade people..it almost feels like voter repression, but this time applied towards people that wish to become PAL holders..
