Update On Ontario Restricted Transfer Times

I think there are people spreading misinformation here.

I have initiated/completed 4 transfers by mail.
In each case I have a reference number and serial number to identify which ref # belongs to which firearm.

I am not expecting any phone calls from either the CFP or CFO.

I would expect that mailed in transfers that were incomplete (such as no signature, or an incorrect registration number) would just get tossed, I would not expect the CFP to call. The CFP don't even call or email to supply a reference number for a good transfer, why would they waste time with people who can't follow simple instructions to complete a form? (which as an aside there seems to be an abundance of on this forum)

I have had discussion with the CFO and the person told me that all that needs to happen now is for the CFO to approve.
So that may take some time, but I'm not expecting any calls.

BUT I Have been to my MPP's office to discuss the slow service in person. Some more people on here should do that

No false information, I posted my actual experience of transfer initiated by email from Yukon to Ontario
 
How can that be? How can a private transfer be faster than a business transfer? My business transfer was initiated June 14th #5937###. I can't see them jumping from June 2nd to June 20th!!!

I have no idea. Must have dropped the 0 on the 20th and thought it was June 2. I think it is just to make me feel good because the other four won't get approved until 2025.
 
We dont need any more new transfer reference numbers.

We need Completion dates with the transfer reference #

I would still like to know new transfers numbers because I am curious as to what's happening with the buying. Specifically I am curious as to when rate of sales tanks because retailers run out of newly imported stock for good.
 
APPROVED: 59453xx private purchase initiated June 20, 2022 and I got through for my part June 21, 2022. I just received confirmation from the seller that the gun is in the mail with a confirmation number.

I was going by your spreadsheet Wolf, which showed this should be approved between Mar 21 and Mar 29, 2023. Wolf this is really going to skew your results. I am still scratching my head. I really won't believe it until the gun is in my hand. Some how it must have fallen through the cracks to the top of the pile. Of course no word on the other one I purchased the same day and others later.

I am going out now to buy a lottery ticket.

I have one June 20 private as well 59450xx and I'm still waiting...
 
Wait time are going to get worse if nothing changes, I made some update to the chart so i can update the rate per period.
Also added 2 new column to show wait time based on when transfer was initiated, if you think 85 days of wait was bad for Jun 1st transfers, look at people who bought at July 19, they need to wait a full year !

for what its worth here is the difference between my orders heading to bc but bought in multiple provinces from stores

Number of reg numbers between orders shows how many application were submitted between the two dates july to august almost doubled what it was in june to july the final number was a period of 3 days between one order and another. as I understand it the numbers are canada wide while the approved are by province? so if they process 100 a day it will take 17 days between one order and the next for those 3 days?

19,717 #’s June 24 to July 23 5955### to 5975###

37,510 #’s July 26 to August 26 5977### to 6014###

1,788 #’s July 23 to July 26 5975### to 5977###

I only track business purchases, private ones are separate work queue.
