Afternoon all,
Just a bit of info as I think some may be interested. In regards to batch transfers I've emailed the CFO directly and the Ontario Ombudsman and have received responses from both.
The CFO is stating....
"Thank you for your email.
Your transfers are assigned to the CFO for processing.
We are currently processing transfer applications received on June 4, 2022. At this time, we are unable to batch approve transfers. You will be advised via email upon completion of each transfer.
Thank you for your patience as we process the high volume of transfers."
In addition the Ombudsman is asking me to respond to a series of questions...
Questions:
1. Please provide your Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) number?
2. Please provide your full name as it appears on your PAL?
3. Please tell us how many individual transfer requests you have pending with the provincial Chief Firearms Office as of today?
4. Please provide the date(s) that you submitted each pending transfer request(s), if known?
5. Please provide the transfer order number(s) you were provided, if known?
6. Have you complained directly to the Chief Firearms Office of Ontario about delays? If so, please provide some details about the update you were given regarding the status of your pending transfer request?
7. If you have corresponded with the Chief Firearms Office of Ontario directly in writing, please forward the relevant written correspondence, if any, between you and that Office, which may assist us to better understand what issues you have escalated and the response provided?
8. In order for us to make inquiries about your complaint with government organizations, we require your consent to do so. Do you provide your consent for our Office to make inquiries with government about your complaint to us?
I have sent back response to all 8 questions and will update here if I get any further response.
