Transfer time for New Handgun

[silverfoxdj]

Didn't you know? They have so many gang members and other criminals that keep registering their restricted firearms. They're overwhelmed with the background checks and letters of support that say, "they're just going through a difficult time and trying to turn themselves around and be a role model...."

^^^^Good one LOL

I hope you're right.
Just bought another one just now.

Update: It was less than 36 hours.

Just got another one. Less than 24 hours for a private transfer.

Rec'd transfer number from seller on Wednesday, called in a 12:30 pm Pacific, email confirmation Thursday at noon. (Ont to BC).

In the last week:

Québec to BC: 49 hours
Ontario to Québec: 26 hours

Both were private transfers.

Glad I saw this thread, I was just gonna ask about this. Just purchased my first handgun via Cabelas..Got my RPAL a couple days ago. So stoked and just super curious.

I called in to complete a BC to NS transfer at 10:30AM Friday morning and received the approval email a smidge more than four hours later.

Same thing here. Rec’d transfer notice on March 12 and still no registration doc.

3 weeks and counting for mine. On the bright side at least I'm getting lots of dry fire practice ...I guess :/

Edit: update- after typing this message out i decided to call in to the CFP to see if theres anything I could find out. The rep I spoke with said "yes there are delays as they are changing the procedures around restricted registrations" and didn't elaborate any more. Then said they'd print mine out and send it, so thats at least good news, but curious to what they were referring procedurally

Rec’d April 16.

For me, transfer completed Mar 16, received registration certificate yesterday.

Called Ontario CFO last week and was told it could be up to 8 weeks to receive the certificate.

Ontario to Ontario local Ottawa friend took 17 days...

 

[Iron Sighted]

Transfer for mine took basically one business day, I'm curious to see how long it will take to get the registration now as looking at the posts above it appears that lags behind the transfer time considerably. Will at least give me time to load up a bunch of 9mm rounds while I wait though.

Bought last Saturday, had the transfer Monday by noon. That my friends is Service with a smile!

Ontario to Ontario 1 week private sale just last week
