As Canadians we should be used to waiting in lines. ;)
My wait back in March was 42 days (30 business days).
It does seem to be getting worse.
 
Already vetted daily, how can it be explained taking this long for a simple transfer?

Check RCMP site, RPAL is valid, approved, next...
One person could burn through 300 per day

Politics seem to be at play... we need to completely overhaul the CFO office.

Imo you have an issue beyond the wait times, their processing is well past all of those dates.

Absolutely
 
Where do you guys call to check on your transfers? I've never called before, I've got 3 transfers waiting and think I should try it for the first time. Dialed 1-800-731-4000, but didn't see an option. Do you press "0" and stay on hold until they pick up?

I always thought one of the options was to check on the progress of transfer.

They've been saying that for a week. The other thing I'm not happy about is I purchased from Ellwood Epps on Mar. 24 but the CFO says my application wasn't submitted until Apr. 3. That's a lot of lost time NOT getting in line that was avoidable.

That's why when you order at the same time you ask them to send you the reference number. No number, you know they haven't submitted it yet.

Next morning after I made my purchase on April 9, I called in with my REF # and asked them to email my confirmation. I’ve been told by my retailer this can possibly make it faster.
This was the one and only time I called in during the entire waiting period
