Update On Ontario Restricted Transfer Times

I have a couple of transfer to ON

June 1 - 5882### (Completed July 5)
June 2 - 5909### (nothing)
June 7 - 5917### (nothing)
June 9 - 5927### (nothing)
June 27 - 5931### (nothing)
July 7 - 5962### (Nothing)


fascinating...5962000 - 5882000 is exactly 80,000...so a year's worth in a month.

also, I purchased from FOC on June 13th, and got a 5940### reference on the 16th...I have seen reports of other 5940 on the 16th, wonder how your June 27th is a 5931? Did you make the purchase earlier and there was some delay from the store?

How'd you get your reference number, did you email FOC? I bought with em on June 3rd and wanted to get it but not be a bother.

Had to double check. Looks like it was done on either the 11th or 12th of June. The 27th was the date that they sent me the reference number. updated accordingly
 
Call and ask. I've never got one from FOC unless I called. I'm also assuming that they are super busy so emailing them out is prolly low on the list.
 
June 7th - 5931###

Seems like my transfer wasn’t entered in on the same day the order was placed, the number is much higher compared to some other June 7th orders…

I know some stores stayed late to try and keep up with the transfer data entry. Sounds like yours got put aside for a while while they were catching up. I'm assuming they are processing roughly by the reference #'s and not by purchase dates.

lol... that's awesome. Mine looks similar...
 
I failed on Friday for 3 hours on the phone to finalize transfer. I even hung up once while on hold by accident after 20 mins on hold too! Good luck to us all!

I'm going to try the burner app to call BC. I can't use phone during work.


Update from July 10 message (quoted above): I must be lucky. 3rd day trying, 5 hours total waiting what normally took me one phone call back in the day. It took my buddy 3+ weeks to initiate. I got on the phone around 4pm. Got the sorry message about 4 or 5 times and then finally got put on hold. 30 mins passed. Expecting a hang up by 32mins but instead a real person picked up the phone. Informed nice lady I am calling to complete a transfer. Gave her info requested, got put on hold to double check and then gave me basic instructions on what to expect and to do next once approved. I asked how long the wait maybe. She said since I'm in Ontario, it's about 4 weeks. I little bit optimistic, but if she thinks that's the speed we're heading, then good! Thanked her graciously.
 
just because she was nice doesn't mean she didn't lie.
4 week is a lie, as simple as that.
It's already more than 5 weeks as of now, and she knew it.

I wouldn’t go as far as saying she’s telling lies. She works for the CFC and the transfer approvals are done at the provincial CFO’s offices.

Obviously a question directed to the wrong entity. If someone wants to know that, call your respective CFO…

I forgot to end my message with my opinion. Dealer I bought from last week estimates 2 months... Seeing what's happening here, my estimate is 2-3 months if bought/complete transfer today. And if this freeze happens, let's hope initiated transfers are exempt.

4 weeks probably prior to June. There's no way she can answer for sure now without doing some math and knowing about the specific transfer. Even 1 days of difference in transfer initiation date can mean thousands of transfers in between. There are 20k transfers between my 1st and 3rd purchases a few days apart. They were at maybe 4 weeks before at the previous rate but no way of telling what it will be without knowing all the variables now. Before they'd probably get 20k transfers a quarter or less.
