CFC approval time

[Dubby]

Ordered my first handgun last Tuesday and just received a email today "waiting on CFC approval". How long does this usually take?

 

[pc9]

Depends on what province you are in.
BC can take up to 3 weeks Alberta was 2 days

 

[Dubby]

I don't see what could possibly take so long. "Yup he has a valid R-PAL...approved...oh crap we don't have a #2 pencil, now we're looking at a few weeks before we can sign the paperwork" LOL

 

[Longshot84]

I'm at 3 weeks right now...still waiting...

 

[Tazzy]

3.5 weeks for me in NB. Might have been quicker if they hadn't lost my paper work. I had to resend my ATT form.

One phone call in Sask.

some took 5 days this week, so maybe they are catching up.

From 9 am til 1pm in Saskatchewan last Thursday. And the lady at the CFO's office asked if I had email. I asked why. She said :" I can email you your Transfer Notice and your updated LTATT with your new restricted rifle on it, so you don't have to wait til it comes in the mail to use your rifle."

Saskatchewan! It's a lot like Texas!

3 days has been the max in B.C. for the last few years till they got rid of the LGR.

Man. That's BS. Same day in Manitoba. My last one was WITHIN THE HOUR

That's great news! I'm still waiting for approval for my long-weekend purchase from you guys. I'm SOOOOOOOO impatient right now.

 

[Dubby]

Is it just restricted you have to get approvals or non-restricted also?

 

[Xman]

Is it just restricted you have to get approvals or non-restricted also?

Non Restricted are no longer registered. Unless you have the multiple misfortune of living in Quebec...

Saskatchewan the promise land... if you can tolerate the Riders.

 

[pc9]

Well finally after 11 business days it's approved

Woah, relax.

Okay I did my purchase on July 30th. I bought from Quebec and live in Bc. I am still waiting. I called last week and talked to someone in Alberta as BC is back logged. She told me Alberta is helping out BC to try and catch up on the back log of ATT's. Supposedly they were on applications from 7 Aug and mine final paper work was faxed back to them on 14 Aug. So it's coming down to the paper work being completed. I expect it wil be another couple of weeks.

That's exactly what they were telling me back in July. It seems they aren't really making any progress.

My last 3 restricted purchases were cleared in just a few hours. Gotta love Ontario.
