ONT New restricted transfer wait times??

I just talked to gun store I bought my dpms from(waiting arrival). He said they had a transfer for ar15 go through today......
 
Bullseye london was told apparently those who got an AR submitted before the system shutdown will get the transfer approved
 
Ontario wait times are ridiculous. You guys need to speak with an ombudsman.

Just did one in Alberta. Called in yesterday morning, got the approval in my email about 27 hours later.

Give the CFO-ON a call tomorrow morning and ask them the status of your transfer. When I called them to check the status of mine the other day they told me that they were right in the middle of processing transfers that had been initiated on March 17.
 
Sigh...made a purchase March 25. Still waiting. Ironic....wasn't for the quarantine I'd never have been bored enough to get around to buying one, but at same time it's causing this crazy delay.
 
When it says "new restricted", what do you guys mean? I had a few restricted firearms up until about 8 years ago, then sold everything and continued renewing my license. Now I have more time and I'm getting back into the hobby and ordered one in April. Am I in the position of waiting for a "new restricted", or not?

I think here we are talking about "new wait time".
The reason for thread is Ontario transfer times are somewhat between 2 weeks to 3 months, so everyone sharing their recent experiences to make us less confused about how cfo are doing their job.
 
Yesterday I was told they were working on transfers from March 18 which will put probably mean my transfer will take 8 weeks. They apparently are not working from home like most of the provincial government. As long as the ranges are closed I guess it doesnt matter as much... but still. Even when it was BC (before covid) the transfer times were bad. The last one I did I contacted the ombudsmen, CFO and my MPP at the 5 week mark. I had 3 transfers in process at the time. I was told they would do them 1 by 1 but magically they were all completed together. Not sure that would work right now.

The Ombudsmen and the CFO stated they are aware that the transfer times are not acceptable. As far as I can tell nothing has changed. Maybe if the ombudsmen gets 1000s of complaints maybe something will change... but I do suspect that nothing will matter until people are fully back at work. By the sounds of things here in Ontario that may be a while from now. I certainly dont expect to be back in the office for a while. Maybe 2021 will be the year of reasonable transfer times in Ontario??
