We had 2 transfers approved today from June 6th in Saskatchewan, 1 approved from June 1st in BC.
This should give you an aprox idea if you are from those provinces, (30 days Saskatchewan, 35 days BC).
Since there are only a fraction of the transfers being done since June 10th (very few handguns were left), expect the average number of days per transfer in those provinces to drop in half by mid month.
Ontario, is a wild card. There have been approvals within 14 days and some still waiting since May 31st. Overall, the stack is going down very quick.
Some have put the idea out there of calling them through the business number, bad idea, most will cut you off when they find out you are not a store. Others have come up with a series of extensions to get through other ways, and sometimes it works most other times it does not.
We have had a couple of emails from provinces telling us to pass along the message for customers to not do this anymore as it only makes things take longer. They have been known to take notes of every call that comes through, and if they still do this, you may find your transfer takes even longer.
CFC Office 8AM "Okay lets see here, we have 5000 transfers to do here. Oh look, John Doe has called in every day for the last month, let put his transfer off for another week! Jane Doe has called in once, lets approve her!"
We cant say if this is the case for everyone but there have been a few indicators lately that this could happen.
We would be tempted to do the same.
