I also was waiting on 3 transfers: 2 mid-June, 1 mid-July. One of the mid-June transfers was a private sale, with a mail-in transfer application, since getting through on the phone was impossible; the other two transfers were new purchases from businesses. Then at the end of July, having heard nothing, I phoned the regular rcmp line, entered the local for the BC CFO (9530), and actually got through on the que, waited 10 minutes, and spoke to an extremely helpful lady that approved all my transfers then and there, even the one that was a week old at the time. She emailed me all 3 transfer notifications immediately during our phone conversation. I had tried getting through on the phone for weeks prior with no luck at all, and it was a huge waste of time. My advise if you’re in BC: call the CFO directly, and ask about the transfer status and if it can be approved.
Good luck!
