Transfer Times
- Thread starter mildot
- Start date
I bought on July 12, transfer initiated by dealer next day, received authorization on August 16, and gun in hand on August 18.
My reference numer was 596###xx, so dont give up hope that it will be done sooner. I have noticed many other posts similar to mine where perhaps it depends more on other factors, private sales, dealer sales, province of purchase and sale etc.
Emailed the CFO on the weekend to inquire, one of the 5894's got approved this morning. Still waiting on the second 5894###. Looks like they passed them by accident.
Recent lurker, first-time poster.
Just called the BC CFO (using their ext #) this morning to confirm a transfer is submitted on a purchase from last week. The lady noted another transfer under my name and kindly approved it from mid-Aug (6######) of her own volition. Really nice lady.
EDIT: AB retailer to BC owner. Also found out purchase from last week was approved at the same time.

Its 9530
Your provincial CFO approves the transfers. And no, they won't just complete it if you're in Ontario.
I'm afraid you're stuck waiting along with the rest of us.
Bc ext is 9530. Just wondering i called today 10 times and 11th time they put me hold and after 28 minutes around 2 pm they said “ our office is close now. Good by. Call tomorrow”. Hahah
So on website it says 5 pm but I don’t know may be phone calls till 2 pm

They are one june 2nd to 6 i spoke with em yesterday.
My wallet will not allow me to buy a NR. I bought 13 hand guns
Its not just pure impatience, there’s the fear that *if* the law comes into effect, incomplete transfers will not go through… sorry to be a downer but the chance is not 0
The chance is literally zero.
Its already been declared. Its in the law and there’s previous caselaw to establish that they have to.
