The ATT is a condition of your PAL. The certificate allows you to transport to the range under your PAL.
Maybe email the CFO?
No, the ATT allows you to transport to the range, the reg cert allows you to have the gun in the first place.
You’re totally mixed up on this but this thread is about Ontario transfers so either listen to what guy’s have been telling you or start another thread to get your clarification.
Good luck with that.
Me too. Your name start with a "B"? Maybe the job is distributed to various people and the guy doing the "B"s is slow...
I get my clarification from the law. Thanks anyway.
I have to add another angle on this. Last week, when I got my approval. The Canadian Firearms Transfer email did not show the regular warning but showed this and I quote it directly below:
**CFO Ontario is aligning with the practice of other CFOs regarding Transfer Notices. Effective Immediately Transfer Notifications’ purpose is to take possession of a newly acquired firearm after the transfer is completed, and does not serve as a temporary registration certificate. Subsequent movement of the firearm can only occur after receipt of the registration certificate.***
All this tells me is that prior to last Saturday, we can take our newly acquired firearms to the range with the transfer approval email. It also solidifies that we can personally pick up our newly acquired firearm(s) home and that is it. Would I take my newly acquired firearms to the range without registration certificate before last Saturday? Just in case, hard no.
I always assumed we cannot take it to the range until our reg. certs come in but sounds like we actually can before last Saturday. Anyway, this rule is just another dumb rule of many.
The ATT allow more than to go only to the range. It also allow you to recuperate your newly acquired restricted after transfer, even pick it up 500 km aways if you want. The transfert letter is all it is, notification of approval that you can now, go get your new gun home or get it shipped.
No you cannot go to the range before getting the reg cert. This have been in the book for a long time. When ypu show up at the range ypu need to have your pal and reg cert for the guns you have with you.

Jesus Christ man, it's written right on the transfer notification;
"This is to inform you that your application to register the following firearm(s) has been processed. You may take possession of them now. Your new registration certificate(s) will be sent to you in a separate envelope."
The IWS search seems to have made mine appear, try that.
This is worded very interestingly. In my RPAL course, we were always told you have to wait for the reg cert to arrive to go to the range, but you can go to the store/post office to pick up your new firearms upon transfer completion. In fact, I was reminded of that by a CFO Officer I was chatting with in the summer when I was (like so many others) waiting on a transfer; "Make sure you wait for your cert before you take it anywhere."
Got my approval, and 2 weeks exactly later got my registration certificate? Is there anything else I need to wait for before I can take my gun to the range? Some people told me they received a new rpal card with different wording on the back, currently my rpal has no wording on the back
Just want to be sure I have everything in proper order.
Have my gun, approval, reg cert, and att to range is automatic correct?

Was this your first restricted? If not, then you're good to go & your license will likely have .0002 (or higher) after your actual license number. If this is your first restricted and your license has .0001, then you'll need to wait for a new one to be sent (it's automatic and takes roughly the same length of time it takes to receive your registration certificate). It will be the new license that will have your ATT automatically 'attached' to it
