Update On Ontario Restricted Transfer Times
- Thread starter pygmalion2020

I'm simply guesstimating a lot here, so don't you all take this to heart.
Let's assume due to extra demand, CFO is seeing 200 purchases per day. With 5 employees, assuming they do some deep dives on the PAL, they could get through 30 per day per employee. And again guesstimating, but a minimum of a month will need to pass before they get to the purchases made about 30 days in the past?
Oh boy. I guess I'm looking at another couple weeks before they approve my purchase. And another couple weeks before Tenda puts in the mail. And another week before CP delivers it to me. And all this without any complications during COVID. So mid-May?
Excuse me while I go cry.
Personally, what's the point of the license or the daily "background" checks, if someone STILL has to go and verify the info etc. It's REALLY all about control and nothing at all to do with public safety. I'm at the 2 week mark and having to wait longer than a few days for a retail purchase transfer to complete is BS, virus or no virus.

This is what's really annoying right now, so much conflicting info. Some people have gotten them done. Some people say they're on hold. I would **LOVE** if I could get a solid answer.
The most probable explanation is that the office is closed, but some employees are working remotely using a VPN, so some transfers still go through, as long as it's all electronic.
Duh, Ontario has a conservative premier.
Your calculations are slightly inaccurate. You will get the transfer notification too so you can call Tenda to have them ship your gun.

So... Inter-Provincial transfers have the potential to go faster than 'local' ones?
NS transfer times usually take about a week under normal circumstances.

Oh yeah for sure. Doug Ford is going to drop everything else he's doing to speed up the unacceptable delay in handgun transfers.
Not sure what difference it makes. Ranges are closed anyway.
I just received this e-mail from the Ontario CFO.....
"Please note, only emails pertaining to Authorizations to Transport for the purpose of a change of residence or temporary storage will be responded to at this time.
The Government of Ontario has declared a state of emergency in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Effective March 18, 2020, The Chief Firearms Office will have minimal staff working to address essential business.

nothing will change until YOU do something to change it. Call your MPP. Call the ministers office. Call the Ontario Ombudsmen. Call a lawyer.
THe service delivery standard for transfers is 30 days. FIle a complaint.
The reason why the ontario CFO has gotten away with brutal transfer times for the last 10 years is because gun owners simply accept this sorry state of affairs and wait.
If Gun owners filed 1,000 complaints a year against the CFOs office and CC'd Doug Ford asking him to explain if Ontario taxpayers are getting their money's worth out of the Ontario CFO, he might just hand the whole thing back to the FEDS, which would be a win for Ontario gun owners, a win for Ontario taxpayers, and a F YOU to Justin Trudeau and the RCMP. Ontario has been subsidizing the Canadian Firearms Program workload for 20 years and it needs to stop.
Well said.
Although there should be some understanding given the current state of the World due to COVID-19.
While the province is an a state of emergency no one is going to give a damn about a complaint you can't get an ATT for a handgun fast enough. No one.
