Update On Ontario Restricted Transfer Times

[SIGP2101]

I just did transfer from ON to SK. All done in less than 24 hrs.

March 17, got my cert in the mail today. LGS did not receive a call or email confirming transfer.

Thought it would be relevant to your argument to the powers that be. Sorry to piss you off. Carry on

No need to be sorry , it was a response so no need for the other guy to jump on you Like that !

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news and hope the dealer you ordered from doesn't ship with UPS.
My orders are stuck in a warehouse in Ottawa and Montreal.

I’m pretty sure it’s Canada post in my case but regardless it isn’t even transferred yet

March 20th approved May 27th private sale. Submitted my info to ombudsman questions this morning, I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it or not.

Just tried calling the Ontario CFO office to check on a transfer. Held for 75 minutes and never reached anyone. Time to file with the ombudsman.

I also got a response from the ombudsmen, standard questions as others. I sent the info to them but nothing back yet. I dont expect it to change the transfer time in the short term but maybe in the long term. I think I am going to file a complaint for every transfer I do in Ontario that takes more than 48 hours. So in other words, I will complain on every transfer until its within a reasonable time frame which seems to be the case in other provinces. I dont care that Ontario is the largest, has the most transfers or whatever else they claim is the issue. If we are the largest, have the most etc. hire more people. This has been a problem as long as I have had a licence.

My transfers started April 16, I dont expect to see them for a few more weeks. I expect the ombudsmen to really just say that covid is the problem. But we all know that's just an additional problem to the already ridiculous waiting times.

Purchased March 24, transfer was put thru on the 25th. Approved today

 

[omar416]

My March 25th transfer came through today. Maybe the ombudsman calls made a difference?

No, they haven’t concluded their investigation yet, today, they were working on March 24th-25th transfers.

 

[jrocket]

It does look like they’ve picked up the pace a bit. Perhaps due to the large number of complaints. My March 23 was approved today May 28.

 

[timandkimandshea]

WTF how can they not be doing this in the order they are received????

 

[NickVR]

Sounds like they are catching up on March finally - still crazy that we are looking at 8 to 9 weeks being standard and some being longer..
