Ontario Transfer Wait Times?
- Thread starter Sharpi
- Start date
My registrations usually arrive about 1.5 weeks after transfer completion. A few months ago i had 3 restricted transfered for to my name but only 1 registration arrived. Had to call CFO and they re-sent the other two. Dont like the idea of two of my registrations floating around out there.. ohh well.
My latest transfer, called in on the 2nd of August, was completed today.
I had requested an email notification but did not get one, I called the cfc and was told the transfer was done today.
I'm 0 for 3 on the email notifications for my last three transfers

Do you really want them to fix the email? Our cost for renewal will probably double.

I had a prohibited transfer submitted on July 28th and approved on August 4th. Unfortunately they forgot to email the parties and we didn't find out until the paperwork arrived in the mail :-(
i have sold guns all over Canada, and it is only in Ontario where there are these long wait times. In Sask/Alberta/BC/Manitoba/Quebec, it is usually within 48 hours, although I have seen them approved that same day on occasion. My first sale in Ontario was my .22 Mark II target which took 3 weeks for the transfer to be approved. I felt so bad for the buyer, and he replied that this is normal in Ontario .
Not too sure why this is ONLY in Ontario.......... I don't buy the fact that the CFO is on holidays and he has to catch up as the wait times are always there, and I work for the federal government as well, and I cannot get ANY leave approved, unless my position is covered!

I hear Quebec is long aswelli have sold guns all over Canada, and it is only in Ontario where there are these long wait times.

If it were any other government entity people would be up in arms with how long these processes take. But the lowly gun owner is so afraid of having their guns taken away that we just take it. It truly shows how unfair the system is. I'm at 10 days, if it doesn't go through by Monday I'll be calling my MP. This is a completely legal process, I pay fees to cover the costs of the process and I expect promptness.
