Boom.
Then the CFO rejects the transfer you are in possesion of the firearm illegally?
BTW c-42 isn't doing away with the ATT. You still need one, they are aquired differently after sept 2.
Im guessing you havent really read anything about c-42....
Wouldn't the original certificate still hold valid then?
Unless the seller has to obtain a new certificate to replace the old certificate that was invalidated by the transfer.

Gun stores and CFO's would not know the answer.. only people on cgn
The answer is plain and simple NO! You still have to: 1-transfer the ownership 2: Receive the registration certificate from the CFO and only after that will you be able to pick it up. And if history is anything to go by, the Ontario CFO will make sure that it takes at least two weeks to receive your registration certificate!
It will be even longer if you are a first time restricted buyer!
In each case when I have bought a restricted the CFO has sent me a notification that the transfer was done (by snail mail) and as is typical of government anti- gun bureaucrats the notice also stated that they will send me the registration certificate in a separate envelope ( Again by snail mail). They easily could have emailed me both together the same day the transfer was done but in Ontario they never do that!

After close examination of Bill C-27 (Bill C-42 AFTER Royal Assent), the current Firearms Act and in consultation with more knowledgeable individuals then I am on this, the following is how it's going to be. I'll first list the two new relevant parts of the Act that concerns us
Automatic authorization to transport — licence renewal
(2.1) Subject to subsection (2.3), an individual who holds a licence authorizing the individual to possess prohibited firearms or restricted firearms must, if the licence is renewed, be authorized to transport them within the individual’s province of residence
(a) to and from all shooting clubs and shooting ranges that are approved under section 29;
(b) to and from any place a peace officer, firearms officer or chief firearms officer is located, for verification, registration or disposal in accordance with this Act or Part III of the Criminal Code;
(c) to and from a business that holds a licence authorizing it to repair or appraise prohibited firearms or restricted firearms;
(d) to and from a gun show; and
(e) to a port of exit in order to take them outside Canada, and from a port of entry.
Automatic authorization to transport — transfer
(2.2) Subject to subsection (2.3), if a chief firearms officer has authorized the transfer of a prohibited firearm or a restricted firearm to an individual who holds a licence authorizing the individual to possess prohibited firearms or restricted firearms, the individual must be authorized
(a) to transport the firearm within the individual’s province of residence from the place where the individual acquires it to the place where they may possess it under section 17; and
(b) to transport their prohibited firearms and restricted firearms within the individual’s province of residence to and from the places referred to in any of paragraphs (2.1)(a) to (e).
If you look closely at the two sections above, the first one refers to the authorization "IF" a license is renewed as defined by the Act. The second section of the Act refers to "AUTOMATIC AUTHORIZATION" to ALL holders of current Licenses. Apparently what the government is trying to do is limit the CFO's ability to place ANY controls whatsoever on RPALs both now (current) and in the future (renewals). Therefore, on Sept. 2nd you will NOT need to apply for ANY form of ATT as your current PAL provides that authorization.
Hmm I thought it was a valid question seeing as after Sept. 2 I can meet a friend at the range and take his pistol home as long as we both have an RPAL...
The BC CFO always approved my old transfers before they sent out my registration anyway.
There is technically a 30 day grace period for creating a restricted firearm as-well, I don't see why this couldn't apply to new purchases.

Really?
How would I ACQUIRE an ATT after Sept 2nd if it's Automatic ?
If you are going to trash someone's reading skills, maybe you should use spell check on your computer first eh? I'm guessing you HAVEN'T used it before.
