I read somewhere that it was anticipated it would be passed by the first week in October, but to me that seems unlikely right now but i am not 100% familiar with the speed of regulation and committees. The link Wolf posted shows it to be still in consideration by the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. Once it passes committee then it will get third reading and if passed go to the senate for first second and third reading there before it is given royal assent and passed into law.
Any of these stages can go on for hours, days or weeks, so we shall see. Hopefully there are some reasonable argument being made regarding the fail ability and unthought out possible scenarios of the handgun transfer freeze. I hate to see the actual sale of handguns stop, but I am at minimum hoping to see at least a change allowing the transfer of handguns between licenced users.
As far as the freeze and what happens to transfers already started, it seems case law and also a statement within the regulation allows for transfers assigned a number and currently in motion to be fulfilled.

Just got my transfer 10 mins ago for one that was initiated June 4th . Reference number 5908###....if my counting is correct it's 141 days. Only 3 more to go but I suspect it will be springtime for those.
My last one came in about 2.5 weeks.
I don't think c21 is the freeze. Isn't that the buyback legislation? The freeze is a regulation, not law. It comes into effect automatically, 30 sitting days after tabling. I think that means around October 5th.

I got a transfer approved from a May 30 purchase on Sept 1. Got my registration in the mail yesterday so closer to 3 weeks.
hmm dont think so unless i am mistaken.. The freeze on sale and transfer is a part of C21, and not a separate regulation. The import ban was separate process but also not a law or regulation.

The Liberals double-tracked the handgun freeze, putting it both into C-21 legislation, and as a regulatory change. The regulatory change is expected to come into force first week of October. C-21 won't pass for months, if ever.
An important consequence of this is that when the handgun freeze takes first effect in a couple of weeks, that is not the end of this battle. If C-21 can be shot down in parliamentary process the regulation will become very difficult to defend, and can be easily reversed with the stroke of a pen.

Exactly, keep this for completed transfers, GOOD NEWS!!

Thanks a lot Wolf, I have been watching this thread religiously
what gun did you get?
Not sure if this helps you guys but my Ontario to Manitoba purchase was done Aug 20. Transfer started Aug 22. My registration was issued sept 1 and just received the certificate today. The gun shop had no idea so I had to send them the proof and they will send out the gun. Seems like places are not being notified for some reason! So be prepared to send info to them. I also did not get an email for the transfer. So keep an eye out on your mail. Good luck everyone 
Edit: transfer number 60079xx

Ontario to Manitoba is not applicable for this thread.
