Transfer Times

Been 6 weeks now on my BC transfer. Nothing yet. Talked to the CFP and they said 10-12 weeks is expected.

Just waiting for the government to change their minds and halt my transfer when parliament is back.
 
3 transfers today all in the 601###x range.

Hopefully Trudeau will be voted out of office by the time they go through in 2025.

Newbie question: can a buyer initiate a transfer via phone? I tried to call the CFO, but good luck getting through! Thanks

Absolutely! All you need is a serial number of a restricted firearm and certificate number provided by the seller and you can initiate the transfer as buyer, seller will need to complete the transfer once the reference # is provided by cfo.
 
Ontario. May 31st purchase. Received my reference number on June 15th as 5894### from tenda. I am still waiting for my approval.

June 1st purchase at 5894### with no approval.

June 3rd purchase at 5911### with no approval.

I also purchased from Tenda on June 1st. From what I understand, they got a lump of orders in and called in a large amount of transfers at the same time. From a business standpoint I understand why they did this. My reference # is 5907### and I have note received my approval yet. I will update on here when I get my approval. I'm expecting by the second week of Sept.

My June 1st refence number of 5894### was given to me on the 21st of June. Even though it is the same range as my may 31st. They must have had a huge amount if it took them another 5 days to to input that number into their crm. I'm of the belief they were calling in transfers as they received the orders and only found time to update their website account info afterwards. My only source is knowing other people in the 5894### range buying on the 31st-june 1st aswell from other retailers and getting their reference number right away.

They don’t even need more staff. They could automate the whole process and get thousands of transfers completed in less than a minute. They wouldn’t have to compromise on anything, a simple algorithm would check for every single thing they’re currently checking for.

This is what makes this so frustrating, they know they can make this easy for us but they’d rather inflict as much pressure on us as possible.

Public sector workers don't like automation.

I used to work for a Crown corp, and I automated a process that eliminated the need to pay people overtime for after hour work. The team just shelved it, no interest whatsoever, 'cause it's hurting people's paycheque.
 
Prophet River submitted my transfer last evening right after receiving payment. I just recieved my transfer approval from the Nova Scotia CFO today after lunch!

I am happily surprised since I've yet to recieve anything back about my transfer initiated in early August.

---- update ----

Replied to the email the CFO sent my approval in and asked about my transfer from early August. They got back to me and said it was still being processed.

Prophet River has shipped!

The RCMP have added new features to the My Webservice portal in your RCMP Firearm account you can now do and check the ATT status on that site you can sign in using your bank through the sign in partner feature I believe if the Email on it is the same as your bank it just confirms its you then you need your PAL # date of birth city of birth etc the usual firearm account info they added it between last night and now
