    You are assuming correctly. You can possess it, but you can't leave your home address with it until your reg cert arrives. When you see green paper through the window of a brown RCMP envelope in the mail, you're in business!

    Ontario CFO says the transfer email is good until you get your certs.

    Give them a call and ask them to send it to your email.
    After they have your email... they usually send it automatically.

    You still need to be in possession of a registration certificate to go to the range with it. An email of the transfer notification is not the registration... and they refuse to email the registration certificate. The email lets you pick it up and bring it straight home. It can go nowhere else until you have the certificate.

    No they do not. You have to ask EVERY time you have a transfer in the works BEFORE it goes to your provincial CFO

    Not according to different CFOs. The NOT has all the information on it that a registration cert does so really why wouldn't it be good enough?

    It would help to know which province you are in?

    There is no law saying you have to physically have your reg cert on your to transport you gun.

    The only law there is, says that if asked to produce your cert by a police officer and you can not. The police can confiscate your gun and you then have 14 days to produce the reg cert or proof the gun is registered to you.

    Anyone calming that you cant transport without the reg cert is talking out their A*S, there is no such law. If you choose to do it or not is up too you, but by law you dont have to wait for it.

    I only had to ask the first time...since then, they actually ask me if I want it emailed and confirm my email address. Both CFC and Ontario CFO.
