I bought a TT last night and I just got a call that the ATT is in already. I think my last one was 4 weeks.
My fastest ATT ever!

Bantario, which makes it even more of a shock.
I bought 3 restricted's from an auction in Bancroft, ON a couple years back, they had Someone from the CFO on call on a saturday. Had my ATT in 30 mins.
Not too many places these days you can be out the door with pistols in hand at time of sale.

Same here.
When I bought my first handgun the process was almost instant. I paid for the gun, the salesperson sent in their paperwork, and I sent a photocopy of my gun club membership to the CFO using the store's fax machine. To my surprise I got both the "all ranges in the province" long term ATT and the short term "drive it home" one in about half an hour.
I had heard that it took way longer if it was your first restricted, but the whole process was quick and painless.

Right not the ATTs are taking 3-10 days for the most part. There are occasional delays, but over all we've been seeing a marked improvement from the CFO's office. Many thanks to Katherine and Andre for putting up with our nagging phone calls!
I think the fastest delivery I can recall happened about 2 years ago, when the CFO was still open on Sundays. We had a customer drive all the way up to Epps on a Sunday afternoon and purchase a Glock pistol. At that time, ATTs were taking 4-6 weeks. When I told the customer this, he was quite unhappy, but asked me to call his cell phone when the paperwork arrived. When it came in about 20 minutes later!, I called and found him on Highway 11, just north of Barrie. At that time I told him to turn around and pick up his gun to save a tank of gas! Needless to say, he was more than pleased.
These days, we have seen ATTs arrive in 24 hours, and in some cases, even the same day! We still note the 3-10 day timeframe, though, as we would rather have you excited at an early delivery than impatient for a gun that has been lingering for weeks.

According to the CFO's office in Ontario, they receive upwards of 600-900 transfer requests each day. Due to staffing limitations, this is supposed to account for their lengthy turn-around times.
My question, however, is that if we are paying $2 billion (some now say upward of $4 billion!!!) for a gun registry that is mandatory, why don't they go out and hire a few more people to work the system?
