Ontario and Quebec Transfer Notice

[WanstallsOnline]

Just a heads up ON and QC transfers are taking 2-3 weeks at the moment.

We where advised to not call in and confirm transfers until the 2 weeks mark.

i thought that was the norm for onterrible.....

It was, then a year ago (?) they added more people to process these, and the new temporary norm was 2-4 days... guess it's back to almost-square one.

So the lifetime background check has started even before c-71 is law. They are just getting a jump on it.

 

[GeneralJansen]

I can confirm. It took 2 weeks exactly to approve the transfer of a restricted. I am in Quebec

 

[subarushawn]

im in NS. bought my AR thursday. the transfer was submitted at 8pm thursday and had the transfer approval emailed at 4pm friday. i was in shock it was so fast. i feel for you guys in ON and QC

That's pretty standard for QC... They used to make you wait a month on your 1st AR transfer a while back. SQ controls #### here so you better believe they will power trip as much as possible... That's what happens when you have a politically motivated and controlled provincial police force...

That sounds good , I'm almost at the 2 week mark so I hope soon, last week would've been better though

if I've bought from private SK seller and I'm ON buyer, it goes through the ON CFO so I'm subject to the 2-3 weeks right?

Yep. The buyer's CFO is the one approving transfer.

On a side note, for everyone in QC and ON, this is gonna get worse before it gets better. Summer vacations will begin shortly so level of service will suffer. If you need something restricted for july, you better buy it now. This 2-3 weeks will turn into a month pretty soon.
