Has anyone here successfully deactivated a receiver only? The current deactivation standards refer to complete firearms rather than receivers.

Well to be quite honest, my thought before things get too far along is to deactivate my AR receivers. I’d rather have them as reminders of how this government screwed me, than give them to the government. Curious if I can just run the chopsaw through them, cut them in half and have them verified?
I wouldn't rush into doing that.
Being ARs, the CFP would have to accept the deactivation to clear them from the Registry. Can't see why cutting something in half wouldn't qualify as deactivation, though.
If I were going to do something like that, I'd be inclined to cut them in half lengthwise and make up a plaque mounted sectioned display piece. Same idea as sectioned cartridges.

I’ve emailed the CFP, hopefully they’ll give me an answer.

Research RCMP deactivation standards. http://www.firearmstraining.ca/deactivation.pdf The broad requirements are to permanently prevent chambering and firing a round - so weld the bolt and magazine in place, drive a hardened steel pin into the chamber through the receiver ring, and a bunch of other steps.
So, as I read your situation, you have a stripped receiver. You need to prevent the ability to reassemble it as a firearm. Read the language and decide.

Unfortunately it’s not that simple. It’s not me who needs to decide. More curious if anyone has ever done this and had it verified.
Over the years I have deregistered (dewated) many guns. I did this before the law said you had to be certified to do it.
Mostly handguns & 1 machine gun. As others have said ,,,
it depends what you want in the end. If it is just to legally deregister ( dewat) then any perminent method
is OK , like welding main parts togeather so it is not easily made to shoot again. Otherwise you need to
follow the guide.

You need to talk to your CFO, as the Deactivation rules are only A RCMP guideline, as opposed to law. Currently, they want a licensed firearms business to sign off on the deactivation. You might also contact the business that would do the work and be liable.

not deactivating, I'm going to destroy the action, and reporting it destroyed. (on the very last day)
and just sawing it lengthwise so that the halves can be mounted is what I was thinking.

Apparently, as reported a while back here on CGN, the CFC is 'tetchy' about things being cut in half lengthwise.
IIRC, it was LordEvilPepper that reported being threatened with action against him, if he cut a Luger Pistol in to two halves for mounting on a plaque as presentation pieces. Supposedly the threat was over his 'Creating an Unregistered Firearm' from the half that was not already registered!
Which, as stupid and pedantic as that sounds, seems pretty much in line for a bunch of folks that don't know a real large amount about guns... Though I must admit, I would love to see the mental contortions they would have to explain away, if they were ever to claim that the half-Luger represented anything of a threat to society, rather than simply a threat to their supposed dominance in the field.

I love how some people are in such a hurry to lick the jackboots while in the west we are fighting to stop this from happening. Western provinces pitching in to buy time until a change of government can fix this. Why would you even consider deactivation until the last appeal has been appealed and the last dog has been hung?
I've heard a lot of dumb stuff in my time but this one takes the cake.
Even then. I'm not handing anything or destroying anything until I am physically forced to. There are millions of us and millions of firearms. It will take them decades to get to all of us and our guns.
