I find the first one interesting there, might be evidence they've split into multiple piles/workstreams. Doesn't seem like 5902 5903s are guaranteed to be complete, even if the latest completions are in 5904. Anyone have any 5901s as incomplete?
Interesting article on CBC on what Alberta CFO is doing to improve the transfer, but I also find this section interesting:
Her office takes on some firearms processing work but the vast majority is still done in New Brunswick — about 95 per cent, according to Bryant. She said the centre out east is understaffed.
Gun ownership laws in Canada are about to change. Here's what is happening in Alberta

yes this part struck me "There are around 12,500 ownership transfer requests in process (Alberta). Transfers with no concerns are processed in Miramichi; if there are any public safety concerns or issues with the licence holder, the file is passed to the ACFO for further review."
I had thought Mirimichi did the registration assignment and it went to the CFO to check the licensee and approve the transfer of registration if the licensee was good. When that approval was complete Miramichi then completed and sent out the registration.

yes, read that part too. So ON CFO process seem to be whole ontario is a concern and need to be processed in ON???
Someone either got the facts wrong or heard something wrong. It was a CBC article after all
From the RCMP site
1. When you call the CFP, you will be provided with a transfer number. Make sure the transferor (seller) and the transferee (buyer) have that transfer number
2. The CFO for the jurisdiction receives the request and will review the transfer to make sure that the transferee (buyer) is acquiring the restricted firearm or prohibited handgun for one of the permitted purposes (Firearms Act, Section 28)
3. Both the transferor and the transferee will receive a confirmation notice to let them know the transfer is complete. After a transfer is approved the new registration certificate will be mailed to the new owner within a few weeks
They miss a crucial part;
All non-restricted go through Miramichi only (hence why they are almost instant sometimes), unless there is some concern (idk why the person will still have an active license at that point) or some other issue, then it gets forwarded to the CFO who investigates. But, all restricted transfers go through Miramichi + CFO, period, regardless of if there is and issue or not, they go through both entities.
This is how it goes afaik.
Good to know thanks! I assumed it would be other way around.
New Ontario transfer. Ontario Business to Ontario private.

I paid in full May 24 2022 for a Glock that was showing instock on their website. Not a site sponsor will not name them. No word for 2 weeks so I call and find out they have no inventory! They said Glocks would restock in June and promised me one. Instead they restocked in August but I did get one. They waited until today to finally start my transfer!!! WTF.
I purchase a Glock from Soley Outdoors on August 3 and they sent a reference number the same day. Huge difference in service. Also Soley was cheaper!

Neither gun will be transfered to me before the fall of 2023.

Now that makes sense. Thanks
Even that seems wrong. For mine in MB. Purchase from Ontario dealer. CFP call for transfer number. Transfer stuck with registrar in Ottawa. MB CFO cannot complete the transfer. That middle registrar is the issue in Ontario. Plus when I called MB CFO was somehow on the same day as ON CFO.
