[Harry Callahan]

Do you have a clue how much wathing time for Québec ?

At the moment it's 9-12 days for QC transfers.

Just got a completed transfer for a new AR15 in Ontario. Order was placed on May 19 and was approved on June 8. 1 day less than 3 weeks.

 

[K-Roc]

Never had one take more than 5-6 days max... until now... 7 days in at this point for my new M & P rifle.

Seems nuts ppl are waiting up to 3 wks, for something that should take a day, or minutes really.

Is this all due to the $600 ar rifle price drops? Since there are 3 ar rifles on the market right now that are $600 down from $900+... buying frenzy?

I hear ya! Before, it would be within 24hrs for a retail purchase. Order my restricted today, I'd get a shipping notice the next day. My last restricted took almost 2wks to be approved.

I spoke with a lady in the Ontario CFO office this morning on a transfer initiated by an Ontario dealer. I've been waiting since May 23rd. No one assigned to this transfer yet. Possibly two more weeks.

Transfer initiated May 22 as well here, still waiting.

 

[Milanczar]

Still waiting on my May 10 from Ontario Retailer.

Called Tuesday. Transfer still in progress at 30 days.

Prior two took April 27 to May 10 (13 day) and April 24 to June 5 (42 days) respectively to complete.

Ontario is such a toss up. I have been as quick as 2 days and as slow as 47 days. Too much variance. Would love to know the reasons behind it.

Vacations, sick days, coffee break, water cooler chats, Facebook... I jest! Must be all those S&W M&P Sport AR sales.

2 weeks today, since transfer went through. Still waiting for registration certificate...

So, I checked the mail today, and my registration certificate was there.
Complete timeline:

May 9th Pistol purchase, and transfer initiated
May 26 Transfer complete
June 09 Registration in mailbox

So, 17 days for transfer, and 31 days for registration. Not exactly speedy!

Just submitted. This is ridiculous.

It really is. And it's always the Ontario CFO's office leading the charge against the system.

I will... how do you frame your complaint out of curiosity? Make it seem like a public safety issue? "I have requested a transfer and it shouldn't take 3-4 weeks. It should be secured, shipped to the buyer asap for them to take possession of in a safe manner. This isn't safe or efficient... etc..." We all know how the govt likes safety.

Simply let him know that 2-4 weeks for something that takes 2mins in our age of computers is unacceptable. The CFO is still a public servant, and you are very dissatisfied with the performance out of the CFO's office.
