Alberta CFO Approvals

So after a brief conversation with her later, it’s estimated 4-6 weeks right now in Alberta compared to 24/48 hours we are accustomed to.

Was this his first handgun?

Yes, it was.

[Hillside87]

Yes, it was.

That's what I thought, they are prioritizing people who are getting their first handgun now.

Yep, same thing I was told and I purchased from retailer.

I'm 1/3 to 1/2 of the way there I guess. Gotta think positively.

 

[Deathrawt]

I guess that explains why I’ve heard nothing about my transfer

4 weeks. For mine..

4 minutes threw the business..

Might be worth the 75 buck or 100 to have a dealer consign and sell 4 ya. Time isnt free ..

I had 10 days and 12 days for two June 8 purchases in southern Alberta. Did you include your gunclub membership info? Omitting that will stall registration.

I made a panic buy from Cabela's on June 7, so exactly one month with no news.

Bought one from AB dealer June 5. Have two more from dealers in late June. Was able to complete phone calls from private transfer last Monday, no approval yet on any of them

I bought from Tenda on June 7 so a month for me too
Hopefully things get rolling soon

I got through after four weeks, three dropped calls then a thirty minute wait for a real person, then supposedly transferred to the Alberta CFO which looped me back to the CFC, after another twenty minutes my call was dropped. It is starting to feel like a comedy act, my purchase was from a reputable dealer who told me phoning wouldn’t help, he was right on the money.

5 weeks and counting for a dealer transfer BC to AB.

Same story here, reputable retailer coming up on 4 week mark. Had the reference number minutes after purchasing but so far no email from the CFO.

I did manage to get through last week to check but was told could be another 4-6 weeks.

This is a NS to AB sale.

This is a lack of competence and total abuse of power by the federal crown. Only a tiny fraction of the money generate through taxes and fees by the firearms community goes back into this transfer system. There is absolutely no reason to have a random "call in" system where someone who has been trying for days or weeks to get through and then is beat out by the lucky guy who just happened to get through on their first try. At the very least there needs to be a system of first come first serve with a call back option rather than being on indefinite hold and then dropped. Or better yet, an online system where you put in the buyer/seller and product information and then automatically get in the que based on the date and time entered. Not railing on the people who work there, just pissed at the lack of tools and innovation the government gives them to work with.

 

[Deathrawt]

Almost sounds like they wanna piss everyone off to the point where they cancel all their orders

it would be encouraging to know if any transfer for a purchase after like june 7 has been approved yet? hoping they are on summer holidays and maybe that's part of the hold up because it seems like nobody since the first week of june has had a transfer go through. i have some from june 13, 16 and 27 and nothing, would be nice to take them to the range before fall. hope we get them soon!
