For the moment I'll keep where the training was facilitated and who the actual instructor was to myself until I have some more information. I will say that I took the two CFSC/CRFSC programs together over three days November 1-3, 2021. My RPAL was issued March 4, 2022 and I have since purchased ammunition at two different retailers, a restricted firearm at a third and have joined a range east of Toronto, all of which required verification of my license, and did not have any issues whatsoever until today.
I spoke with the CFO-ON on Friday April 8 and was told on that date that they were processing transfers from March 14/15 and that it would likely be completed by Monday or Tuesday of this week. I sent an email late Tuesday night having not seen anything and the reply I received at 7:52 Wednesday morning simply said, "Your transfer is with the CFO pending review. You will be notified via email upon approval," and I called again today hoping beyond reasonable hope that it would be approved while I was on the phone and I could pick it up today and install some of the aftermarket bit & pieces I've purchased over the long weekend while I wait for the registration certificate to show up in the mail.
I don't know about the other 20-odd folks who were in the courses with me, but I know I'm not the happiest camper in the drum circle!

What's going on with the Ontario CFO? Can't get through on the phone & emails go unanswered.

On week 2 of waiting for my restricted purchase in Ontario.
This is rough, man. I knew buying guns is rough, but why do they gotta make it so rough.

Nah, just Marstar telling me they started the transfer. It's down to the CFO now...
Sheesh. They really need to hire more people, or something. Nobody should be waiting a FULL MONTH for just a transfer.
Not sure if it's worth the trade off of not needing to belong to a gun club.
Weird, their system doesn't make sense. Mine was initiated on Mar 23 & was approved on April 14. ON to ON Still waiting for my slip in the mail though.

I assume when you purchase through retail you get the cert and all in the mail around the same time as receiving your gun? Or is that delayed as well?
How slacking is our government, sheesh.

I never actually got the transfer notice. Both the gun and the registration showed up in the mail today. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Damn didn't even get a tracking #?
That's still a bloody long time to wait. What happens if you're not home? Do they keep it at the closest postal office or something? Do you need to get an ATT to take it from the postal office??
I wouldn't want a handgun waiting on my porch lol.
Sent one email yesterday and got the answer this morning...
"Thank you for your email.
We are currently processing transfer applications received on March 25, 2022. You will be advised via email upon completion.
Thank you for your patience as we process the high volume of transfers."
