First Restricted Gun Transfer, Do I need to do anything other than waiting?

[qch777]

Hi, I was told that for your first restricted transfer, the CFO will actually call your references/spouse etc and ask detailed questions. As a result it might take longer.

Just wondering if this is true?

If so, should I give my reference a heads up? What kind of questions are usually asked?

My first transfer is coming from a dealer, I have the reference number but havent heard anything from the RCMP yet. If I can get through, would it benefit to give the CFO a call as well, even though I'm buying from a dealer?

Thanks so much!

Im not aware of that... the calling the spouse is during the licensing process.

I've only heard that (calling the spouse/references) for Quebec, so if you live there, that might be a possibility, but I am in Ontario and haven't heard of that happening here.

Call the CFO and give them a copy of your range membership. While you are doing that they might even be able to get your transfer completed.
