Called Ontario CFO today and they told me they are working on March 3rd right now for retail purchases. Individual-to-individual transfers are on hold right now, whatever that means :/

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.
Ontario gets what they vote in. Out in the conservative west transfers are done in around 24 hours. I have never waited more than 2 days for any transfer I’ve done.
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.
I love in Ontario and sold a restricted to a fellow CGN in Manitoba two weeks ago. Called in on a Friday and transfer was completed the next Monday. Had it been Ontario to Ontario...I would still be waiting on transfer
Oh yeah for sure. Doug Ford is going to drop everything else he's doing to speed up the unacceptable delay in handgun transfers.Would it help if all Ontarians sent an email to Doug Ford's office making him aware of this delay situation?
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.
I was told today by the RCMP firearms center that there is currently no timeline for restricted transfers to Ontario. She said if the transfer was not approved by the END OF MAY! I should call back for an update. 10 weeks for a transfer? I mean I think the average literate person could probably approve thousands of these a day so is there a million gun backlog or something?
It was already at 5-6 weeks before covid so what are we looking at 2-3 months min for a transfer? Something needs to change here this is a completely unacceptable level of service to be getting.
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.
