I called in to complete a transfer for a FNS-9 2 weeks ago and am still waiting. The same day i started a transfer for an ar15 and that was completed in 4 days.
Two days on a pistol is the fastest thus far. Seller initiated transfer Wednesday morning and approved this morning. Didn't call in yesterday but maybe if I had I could have shaved off a day. The CFO office here in Montreal seems to be getting better and the lady that handles the ATC apps is very nice and helpful.

3 months ago the transfer was 2 days through a dealer. This one is still pending. 7 days and no word, again through a dealer. Ontario's finest, hard at 'work'.
I find that they ship on their schedule, rather than when approved. At least that was my experience in 2011, transfer approved in 4 days, even got the confirmation before they shipped (almost 1 week after the transfer was approved).
my first ever restricted transfer was a private seller to me, took one hour 28 mins, registration was 10 buisness days, second one blew me and the seller away as they approved everything on the phone in 24 mins, registration hasnt arrived yet, but only been a couple of days, i was told by bc cfo, that if its a long drive to where you are picking it up, they verify distance via maps and transfer you to cfo if the distance is a longer one, works for me as both purchases where over and hour from my house
For those receiving transfer notices via email, what address are they using?
I'd like to include it in the whitelist settings of my email, so it doesn't just get treated as spam.
I'm in Ontario if it makes a difference, but if it differs by province it might be useful for others if they were posted as well.

I'm in BC, and mine are always done within 1-2 business days, whether from BC or another Province. Only exception was a 12.7 Prohib transfer as the Lab had to "verify eligibility". That took me emailing them pictures and a week to review them.
