How soon can the handgun be shipped?

thats what cfc told me too, but the seller said he needs the copy of the transfer first.

i allready have my certificate number too.

i just saw this on their website http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/fs-fd/sell-vendre-eng.htm

"The new owner can take physical possession of the firearm as soon as the CFP transfer agent provides them with their new registration certificate number. The registration certificate will then be mailed to the new owner within a few weeks."

I believe that applies to non-restricted.
Just had a transfer approved after 4 weeks in Ontario :) . We take that apparently...This ought to be a data entry operation and should take about 3 minutes each to do.
Would it be acceptable for it to take that long to switch over a vehicle registration? I've complained to my MPP..I wish more people did that too.
 
I had a pistol transfered to me this week.

The seller called the CFO (I have no idea what miracle he pulled off getting them to answer thier gd phone). Once they faxed him the transfer, he drove here to drop it off.


I just recieved the registration certificate in the mail, 7 bussiness days after they confirmed the transfer.

Also, I have been trying every day to get a hold of them for an ATT. I need to call Miramichi to get transfered to the Ontario CFO because everytime I call them I get a dial-up tone.

And even when I do get through, I get the voicemail. The message I left last week has still not been answered.


Worst government office in Canada.


Oh and the other restricted transfer I initiated 4 weeks ago has not been transfered yet. You'd think they would have done both at the same time when the other seller called in.
 
When its approved I ship right away... now I do it through a gunsmith or call up and have them pick it up at home makes it simpler..

Long term covers gunsmith.. then gunsmith simply ships to new customer after inspecting it :p

you get that because you are calling there FAX number...

they don't give a local number for your CFO just the head office that transfers you.

Now if you can find the extension # for the cfo then you'd be set. For example the BC cfo's extension is 9530 so you press 1, then enter the extension.
 
I believe you are mistaken, because you can lend your gun to your friend (assuming he has an RPAL and ATT) if this happens at the club. He has an ATT to transport restricted and prohibited firearms back and forth home/club. The registration certificate does not have your name on it (after you cut it out) and your ATT does not name each of your firearms.

I do not see why it would be illegal. :confused:

Way wrong... you CANNOT just lend out your restricteds. There is a seperate form "borrowers" form, the lady at the RCMP called it. Your att allows YOU to transfer YOUR firearms registered to YOU. My god man...think of the children!!!!!!:eek:
 
Show us the link.

Forms
<http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/form-formulaire/index-eng.htm>

What did you think it was going to be easy to find? or the law for once would be clear? lmao.... All i know is i called to make sure it was ok to borrow / try out a friends restricted. I have my att and many restricteds as well.... RCMP told me NO...my att was for my guns only...not anyone elses....but i could get a "borrows" cert. Thats what she called it... doubt thats what its called...but anyway...had to give her ALL of my info and HIS and then where and what times i'd be transporting the firearm...also told me it was only to transfer from his address to my club then back to his address... under no terms does this enable you to be in possesion, besides enroute, of a restricted thats not reg. to you!
Just telling you what i went through only a few months ago. Not sure if its an Ontario thing...

It is both clear and easy to find.

All you need is a short-term Authorization To Transport for the stated purpose of "e) Transport for temporary storage". You just need to use the form. Under "8. Reason for transport (check one only)", check "e) Transport for temporary storage". It will serve to authorize storage at the alternate location for up to one year. Once that firearm is so-authorized, your CFO can add that firearm to your long-term Authorization To Transport (for target shooting).

Well thats not what i got. Mine was only good for 1 week, during specific hours and locations. Like i said this was all done over the phone in a few min, no paper work received, just a reference number to show. But either way... obviously there is steps to take and you can't just borrow restricteds as you want.

Last year I did an out of Province restricted transfer and it took over 8 weeks. I complained to the CFO, our MP, Vic Toews, The Ombudson to no avail.
 
If your Provincial CFO is cutting any slack on transfers, one sure way to end the practice is to discuss it to death here. Such discussion will be encouraged by those who don't really care if they're having a hard time so long as nobody else has it any better.
 
I have nothing but the up most respect for the BC cfo they impress me time after time.

I received my LT-ATT the day after it was approved in my mail box!

talk about FAST turn around...

they also approved my transfers within a day of ontario's cfo sending them to bc
