That’s the extension to initiate your transfer. They have nothing to do with approvals. You have to call the CFO office in BC to expedite the approval. If memory serves (best check other posts in this thread), it’s 1 for English, 6(?) if you know the extension, and then 9530 (I think) for the BC office.

You are calling the wrong number. See post #503

Last Wedsday both the buyer and me kept phoning....Buyer got through first, and we did a 3-way call with Agent.
We got our transfer.
He was able to get a hold of B.C CFO using above method.....and they used reference number and approved transfer yesterday.
7 days.....
For those that are haveing trouble. These are the instructions for iphone and Android to program the numbers to auto dial through the menus. This is for the BC CFO. If you want a CFO from a different Province then just substitute the last 4 digits with the CFO extention of the Province you are trying to reach.

holly molly Jonas. are they scared of the coming election lol ... still one to get approved but i wont push my luck as a wonderful lady approved 2 this week ... i will try next week after the freeze coming ...
I actually mentioned to her that there’s lots of speculation implementation will come any day now and that I just wanted to get my final transfer approved and completed before the hammer falls. She put me on hold and three minutes later there was an approval email in my inbox.
Edit to add: I also thanked her and said everyone I knew who was dealing with their office appreciated how much grace under fire they maintained and that I hoped she still had a job when this was all over. She was thankful when I said the former and gulped when I mentioned the latter, which was apparent the concern was in her mind.

Sorry if it was already mentioned but I didn’t read the entire thread…if I bought a revolver from a dealer, can I call my provincial CFO and get it approved without any sort of reference number? I know with private sales we need one but wasn’t sure when buying from a store.
Thank you
Finally got connected to CFO office today and amazing Sherry approved 3 of my pending transfers over the phone and I received the email (all done within 15 mins). Now waiting for them to get shipped. Any idea how long does it take to get the new PAL (as these are my first restricted) and all other paper work like ATT and registration certificates in mail?
I just sent them an email, I have transfers pending that go back over 3 months.... ? I don't know how people get though on the phone, I've tried a few times but I've been working quite a bit for the last 2 months and don't have time to call in during regular hours... not that they seem to keep regular hours.
