Update On Ontario Restricted Transfer Times

Ontario business to Ontario private 59607XX. Buyer side completed 7/6. CFO approved 12/2.

I sent them an email yesterday asking if I had been skipped knowing I've seen a couple with a bit higher of a number. I let them know I had three very close together in terms of date. They responded with an approval for the one above and they also told me my 59633XX (7/7) and 59696XX (7/15) should be in 5-10 days.

It's absolutely ridiculous that they wouldn't approve the others at the same time. It's obvious they are just dragging this out; otherwise they'd be doing batch transfers. Brutal.
 
Doing batch transfers would arguably expedite it for everyone.

Not arguably at all. It would dramatically improve speed for everyone. It's fact.

When reviewing a transfer, a CFO person opens the file. They check the lincensee's information. They then look at the licensee's file to ensure you have no recent domestic complaints, no new criminal activity, etc. If you don't have any, they approve the transfer and e-mail you an auto-generated approval document. That triggers the CFC to issue registration certificates by mail.

When they open your file they can see all your other pending transfers and could just click "approve all". But they don't.

Every batch transfer done, shortens the number of transfers standing between you and your next transfer approval.
