They should get this problem straightened out and have a website with definite answers for everyone. I know people that applied last year for the pol/pal and still have not recieved it and just get the run around when phoning about it. So I guess now they don't get to hunt this year. I was also in Canadian Tire last week to purchase my tags and the guy in front of me asked if he needed his pol... the answer they gave him was "not yet as the government has extended the grace period to the end of this year".
