So mine has been 2 days, I called the 1800 number and she said its still at the Chief firearms office, I asked if they had a estimate of length and she said usually takes 5-10 business days..?
Is there another number I can phone, because she certainly didn't do anything for me haha.

What number are you guys calling where they are approving it for you right there when you call in?

1 800 731 4000
press 1, press 1 again wait for them prompt then enter 9530 for the extension.

I bought today at noon, called at 1pm, got my statt and transfer in my email at 2:20pm

I have to say that's pretty damn amazing! Can't complain anymore...

just over 3 months now on a transfer and when I renewed my PAL that was pushing over 5 months, friends and range acquaintances are seeing varying times but many are having similar experience from what I hear

Just call, really, they don't even put you on hold for that long anymore, at most I've waited 5 minutes.
So basically a 10 minute call and you have your transfer, your statt...

They are fast right now. I completed my end of the transfer Monday morning, it was just approved, would have been earlier except they wanted a copy of my range membership. Also, I faxed away the LTATT yesterday afternoon and it's approved as well. So not too shabby IMHO.

Mine was just approved today. 3 days it took me for a private transfer.

Reliable did an online registration at 2 pm on Saturday. I phoned the 1 800 number to check on Monday at 10 am, and it had already been approved. I get to go pick it up tomorrow.

3 days from a business.
4 days private deal.
All in all I've never had a problem with the BC CFO.

Purchased a Beretta 92a1 on a friday a couple of weeks ago (first ever restricted purchase). Called in to the BC CFO immediately after getting into my car, go through in 20 minutes. The agent asked if I wanted to take the gun home that same day. I said yes, and she sent me the transfer papers and STATT for that same day. Return to the store 40 minutes later, and everyone was dumb founded, I was like some legend. Mind you the agent she kept saying to me that it was a "special favour" and that they don't normally do this. Couldn't tell if I was on with one of those ### chat lines or the CFO.

Lucky first experience I guess!

Yeah, looks like the gods were smiling on you, especially as it was a Friday too...The last restricted purchase I did on a Friday did not complete until the following Tuesday...You certainlty did get a 'special favour'.
