So unfortunately it's not as easy as non-restricted, so I need some help.

I am looking at a couple items on the EE, and I noticed some posts containing "SPF" and "BTT" what do those two mean?

Now if I wanted to buy something and it was local, could I pay them cash, or is the reason most people want EMT is for a money trail for proof that there was a transaction?

Now if I were to pay EMT, how do I do that? Can I use my bank (RBC) if not can you guys recommend me someone?

If I were to pay cash, could I call the CFC and get it transferred to my name, and get an ATT to get it home and that's it, in the same day?

If I were to pay but EMT and get it shipped to my house, how long would the transfer take for that?

I believe that's is all for now. Thanks
 
spf is Sold pending funds so someone all ready spoke for that rife, emt is easy way to send money all you have 2 do is set up on online banking and its is as easy as sending a email(pretty much sending a email)
 
BTT = Back to The Top i.e. the seller is bumping the thread to the top for more attention.

Here is how it happens.
1. Tell the seller you want it and agree to a price
2. You transfer funds however you agree to
3. Seller begins the transfer by calling the CFC with your name, RPAL and date of birth
4. CFC gives Seller a confirmation number.
5. Seller gives confirmation number to you.
6. You call the CFC and finish the transfer.
7. CFC then sends the information on to your Provincial CFO.
8. Provincial CFO authorizes the transfer.
9. You keep calling the CFO until the magical day when the CFO suddenly says that the transfer is complete (or you get a letter saying that this is so)
10. Only THEN should the seller send you the firearms.
11. You get a letter in the mail informing you that the transfer has been authorized (which you already know because you have been calling every few days).
12. A few days later you actually get a new certificate with new registration number in your name.
13. You can shoot as soon as you get a registration number. A CFO told me I can shoot once I get the letter; others have said they were told only with the actual certs.
 
Next question.

I am not a member of a club yet. I am on the waiting list for one (September is the month I've been told for the safety course) Will CFO allow the transfer to go through? I have heard conflicting reports.
 
On paper you do not need to be a member of a club to own a restricted. When you call the CFC to finish the transfer tell them that your planning on joining "Range X" and are waiting for room. That should be sufficent.
 
I'm waiting for Silverdale to open up membership in October. Missed out by a day. So i feel your pain. That's why I'm buying a non-res first to get some plinking and just working out the newbie in me first and then moving on to a pistol when I get the membership.
 
I just have to give shout-outs to the Manitoba CFO. For every restricted I've purchased, once the initial part of the transfer was completed through Miramichi, it took my CFO all of about an hour to approve the transfer, update and mail a new LATT. The turnaround time for an ATT to bring home from post office? Average, 15-30 minutes to process and email me a PDF that I can print out, or leave on my smart phone.

MB CFO Rocks :rockOn:

Sorry if that's rubbing it in ;)
 
Next question;

How safe are money grams? I am thinking they are ok because the other end has to give me their name and address, and for them to accept it they have to show proof that it is them?

Also, should they initiate the transfer before I send the money gram or does it matter?
