Has anyone made contact with CFO in recent days? Curious if they are still operating.

I spoke with the retailer today from whom I purchased my firearm on March 16th. He said the CFO is operating and is gonna be a bit slower than usual because they have to work in rotational shifts.
 
I called the CFO's office this afternoon to make sure they had received my transfer and check the status (I purchased a M&P 9mm from a site Sponsor on March 13th). They have received it and started processing it, but she warned me they are overloaded because of current circumstances so it'll be a while.

Being new to all of this, I have to ask, what kind of magic do they have to do to register a Transfer of a new firearm from a legitimate licensed business to a licensed individual and set up an ATT?

Ordered restricted on March 8th, Ontario CFO received the same day. I called two days after to check if they need anything else since I am on the range waiting list... They said it should take 5-10 business days.
Also, they offered to notify me via email. I said yes. The downside is that you can't signup online but if you call them they can switch the email notifications on, so if pending give them a call and ask to be notified via email.

So excited about my first restricted. I will update once I receive approval.

I got my transfer approved today! Yay!
It took 14 business days to get the ON-ON transfer.

I get that they are busy and working hard but I still don't see why it should take this much time. We are all licensed and trained so there should be no cool-down period. The authorized seller should be able to get us registered with govt and give us short term ATT from the store to our place. This how CFO will have more time to deal with licensing, screening and making sure people are not missing their priveledges (straw buying and things like that)

Anyways, I hope it clears soon for the rest of you who are still waiting!!

as far as I know they are still working.

Unless you need an ATT it is better not to call, you are just taking someone away from processing transfers.

Calling will not speed up the transfer process
 
did you get your att as well? or it is shipped to your address?
I ordered my r one day before you but the seller says still waiting for the att.
 
Got my tracking number today!!!

Ordered on the 6th March, sent to CFO on 9th and got the shipping tracking number on the 29th, we'll see but it's ONT to ONT so I figure 3 days at best by Canpar.
 
Spoke with a very nice lady at the CFP today, gave her my e-mail and asked for an update. She told me they are still working and very much processing transfers, 3-4 weeks is what she suggested the wait should be for On-On transfer...with a grain of salt I think but none the less it was good to hear a human voice on the other end of the line.
