I spoke to the dealer in BC this morning. He told on average right now it is taking 2 weeks for transfer and ATT.
Really at this point there is nothing to do about it. We are athe mercy of the CFO.

I've actually never contacted our CFO, the owner of Xtreme Gun always does everything and damn its fast. Just picked up two Russian Toks from him on Friday with low serial numbers and while he said it could take a day or two because of how low the numbers are, it was ready b y the end of the day

Why does it take so long, my CFO in Nova Scotia is quick. I recently purchased a s&w m&p 9mm, and couldnt do the transfer until I showed them a copy of my gun club membership. I brought it in today and they expect to have my transfer and Longterm ATT completed by tomorrow afternoon.
The last one I got was like a day and a half tow days tops. You will have no problems

A friend of mine just purchased a Ruger SR1911 from Al Flahertys in Toronto few weeks ago. Next day, STATT was approved and he brought it home. Now, the waiting game. NO CLUB within 50 km range is accepting new member. In Ontario, is it possible to apply for a STATT just for the reason of bringing this firearm to a range to test-fire for maybe 1, 2 or 3 trips to the range? My club can accommodate him as a GUEST shooter provided he can transport this firearm legally. Or we can go to Target Sports for a daypass. Is there such a thing with ONTARIO CFO regarding this limited-multiple day STATT for the reason of no club accepting new members? I know for the fact that LTATT will be issued only to a club member provided the club endorses his status to CFO and apply for an LTATT on his behalf. This is how I got my LTATT.

STATT usually accompany any transfer/registration from a seller, private or dealer. You cannot transport the firearm unless it is legally under your name, or a STATT indicating the reason of transpot. Say from home to a gunsmith, a tradeshow, a dealer for assessment/trade-in, a certified repair facility, transport for storage to another location, for the reason of a licensed member wants to borrow the firearm, inter-province transport and the likes.
You can start by nabbing this form.. filling in your own personal info and submitting it to the CFO... and come on back and post when you get any reply etc from them:

Currently there will be some games w/the CFPO regardless... but the more of us working on it the better off we all are
I am not able to download this link? (On Mac) I know its a year old, Is it possible to provide an updated link or copy of this ungimp ATT CFO Form?
ONTARIO - Short Term Authorizations to Transport (ATT) Licence Applications
Community Safety and Correctional Services
Service Standards for: Residents and Businesses and Visitors
Permits, Licences, Certificates and Registrations
Short Term Authorizations to Transport (ATT) are issued at the time that the requester makes the telephone call to initiate the authorization. The ATT is generated and issued while the client waits on the telephone. If a voice message is left requesting the issuance of an ATT, the voice mail indicates that someone will return their call within one business day. Usually ATTs are issued on the same day that the client has left a voice message unless the client has not been clear in his/her request over the telephone, in which case the ATT will be issued within 24 hrs (upon voice contact with the client). ATTs are faxed or e-mailed to clients where possible.
The majority of ATTs are done immediately on the phone, so the client already knows that the ATT is completed.
All enquiries are responded to within 2 business days.
Feedback may be provided to:
Chief Firearms Office

Target Shooters
PDF Format
This fact sheet explains how the Firearms Act applies to individuals who wish to use a firearm for target shooting.
As set out in the Shooting Club and Shooting Ranges Regulations , a “shooting range” means a place that is designed or intended for the safe discharge, on a regular and structured basis, of firearms for the purpose of target practice or target shooting competitions. All shooting ranges operate under the approval of the Chief Firearms Officer (CFO) of the province or territory in which they are located, unless:
They are on the premises of a licensed firearms business and are used only by licensed owners and employees of that business; or
They are only used by public officers, such as police officers, in relation to their lawful employment duties.
Individuals may call 1-800-731-4000 to confirm whether a club or range they are interested in joining has been approved by the provincial or territorial CFO.
Authorizations to Transport Restricted Firearms and Prohibited Handguns
Firearms owners need an Authorization to Transport (ATT) issued by a CFO in order to transport a restricted or prohibited firearm to or from anywhere in Canada. It is only valid for the specific locations indicated on it. A separate ATT will be required for additional locations.
For Target Practice
An ATT can be issued for a term of:
up to five years; or
up to the expiry date of the firearms licence; or
up to the expiry of the shooting club membership.
An ATT may be issued for a relatively longer period to cover multiple trips for the same purpose. Example: transport to or from a shooting club or range for target practice. In this case, form RCMP 5490 is to be completed and submitted to the office of the applicable CFO (one can also apply by phone by calling 1-800-731-4000. A copy of the valid shooting club membership must be provided as well.
Probationary Club Memberships
Some shooting clubs or ranges have introduced “probationary” club memberships. These temporary memberships are designed for potential club or range members who are new to the club or previous members who have not actively used the range for a specified period of time (i.e., 2-3 years). The terms and conditions of these memberships (such as duration and attendance at range safety seminars) are established and monitored by the shooting club or range.
For the purposes of the issuance of a long-term ATT for target practice, CFO’s generally require that the ATT applicant has a “full” club membership (i.e., has met the terms and conditions of the probationary membership and has been issued a subsequent “full” club or range membership).
Licence Renewal
On renewal of a firearms licence (every five years as required by law) and in accordance with subsection 67(2) of the Firearms Act, a CFO is required to review and confirm the purpose for which an individual possesses restricted or prohibited firearms, except for firearms which are relics as set out in subsection 67(4).
Allowable purposes for possession, under paragraph 28(b) of the Firearms Act, include: a) target practice or target shooting competition (under certain ATT conditions or at an approved shooting club or range); or b) to form part of a gun collection, if the individual meets certain criteria. As part of the confirmation of purpose, the CFO “…shall decide whether any of those firearms or handguns that the individual possesses are being used for…” target practice or competition or collection.
Further, the CFO has the authority under subsection 15(1) of the Shooting Clubs and Shooting Ranges Regulations to request written confirmation from a shooting club or range of “…the participation, if any, of a current or past member…of the shooting club…in target practice or target shooting competitions within the previous five years… .” The CFO is able to confirm the purpose for which an individual indicated he or she was acquiring the firearm by looking at an individual’s history of ATT issuance over the term of their licence (for target practice) and, if necessary, by reviewing the records kept by a club or range.
For Other Purposes
Restricted or prohibited firearm owners are also required to obtain an ATT for purposes other than target shooting. Examples of this would be transportation of a restricted or prohibited firearm due to change of address, or for consignment sale, repair and appraisal.
The information required to issue the ATT in this case may be provided to the CFO of the province or territory in which the firearm owner resides by calling 1-800-731-4000. Once the ATT has been approved, confirmation will be sent to the owner .
Please note that when the owner of a firearm is moving and plans to relocate a restricted or prohibited firearm, an ATT must be obtained prior to the move. This will also serve to update their address and ensure they receive relevant and timely information related to the Firearms Act. Moving a restricted or prohibited firearm without an ATT could result in charges being laid under the Criminal Code.
Non-Resident Target Shooters
For an individual without a valid Canadian firearms licence, a Non-Resident Firearm Declaration (form RCMP 5589) that has been confirmed by a customs officer at his or her point of entry has the same effect as a firearms licence for up to 60 days. Individuals who are bringing a restricted firearm into Canada will generally need to have a customs officer confirm their declaration before applying for an ATT by phone. All of the CFO offices can be reached from Monday to Friday, between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., at 1-800-731-4000.
Until further notice, due to a Court Order issued by the Quebec Superior Court, residents of Quebec are still required to register non-restricted firearms with the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program.
