I guess all their staff are overworked building a Long Gun Registry..sucks to be in Quebec and want guns
Sure does, although I did have to send them more info by fax which added about a week to the whole process and then the holidays so.... hoping to get it at least end of the month, hoping !!!
Good Luck
congrats....you did some gun shopping on the way to the range I presume
Thanks dude! Went and bought 80$ worth of ammo today felt good pulling out the card, kinda like the first time you get carded for buying liquor lol!
Actually, that's what I finally did. I just asked politely if it was possible to follow up with the CFO's office. They forwarded me to them. I spoke with them in the office, they gave me an extension but told me they'd call me back. They called me back two days later, asked me a few questions and approved me on the phone.

I just called the Quebec CFO they were quite nice. Told me all that is needed before they approve is for my ex to call in. Fingers crossed she does do me that favour. Wondering tho what happens if she refuses too ? Just out of spite or something.
How long did the cfo have it before you called? Mines been their for a little over a week still nothing. Called them Wednesday to ask if they required anything else from me, they said they had everything they needed. Wouldnt process it for me.
Mines been with the QC CFO 2 weeks and was told they just needed to speak to the ex before approving it.
I got her to call in, both her and I were told that this was all that was needed for them to approve. It's been a few hours now and no status change on the site is this normal ?

Yes I did
picked up a new savage mark II, 500 rounds and a year membership to the VFGPA. It was a toss up between the savage and a marlin, but the savage was a fair bit lighter, and it was made in Lakefield Ontario - Location

No offense.. but if that is all you are po'd about you have much to learn to say the least...
Maybe they didn't like her responses..have you talked to her since she was interviewed?

I also had mine tracked. They received my application on December 24th. It seems most people had their status show up online after about 20 days so I decided to phone today - nada, nothing entered into the system yet - but they do assure me they enter them in order received!
It is hard not to be frustrated by the process - if they really are so short staffed then add $10 to the fee per person and hire some more clerks.

I called Miramichi and asked to be transferred to the Quebec CFO, then a few hours later I was interviewed (and so were my 2 references)!
