Update On Ontario Restricted Transfer Times

Called the CFO with ref. #, got through first call right away. That's a good sign.

Hoping gun will be received before the ranges are open.

The only time I called the Ombudsman was when Service Ontario ripped me off 2 years on an enhanced drivers licence. They were zero help. I would imagine all that will come up complaining about this is that times are slower because staff is reduced due to COVID-19. There is no reason why a retail seller shouldn’t just be allowed ship the gun out right away. The business is authorized to sell restricted firearms and knows we have a valid RPAL. Then then registration can show up when it shows up.

There is no excuse for transfer times currently being experienced in Ontario. This is 100% the liberals within the OPP/CFO slowing things down on their own agenda, knowing Ford and the other top folks are busy dealing with COVID. Its the OPP/CFO thinking they are saving the world.

Working from home is a no-no of course due to data security

Its a simple solution. You reduce desk / staffing quantities to an adequate level that respects distancing. Then you add an afternoon shift. Then you add a night shift. 24/7 operation, everyone has their job still, and things keep moving. Wether they work or not the government is paying the staff (either through salary in other areas, vacation/lieu payouts, or CERB payments)....so you might as well keep them employed where they have been and do not require additional training. Government workers thinking outside the box of 9am-5pm is very difficult though.

Lol, where have you been. This is not the first time things have been like this. There is a reason there are many, many different threads on Ontario transfer times. It has ZERO to do with COVID-19.

You are almost there. I initiated a transfer on Feb. 20th, the BC RCMP E-Division approved the transfer on the same day, then it went back to the Ottawa registry for the final approval. Called in couple of times to the 1-800-# and finally told it was completed on April 6. The call center lady said that I was lucky that I started the initiation in Feb. 2020. it's a minimum 2-3 months wait for anything initiated after March. 2020.

Interesting system you got in BC. :rolleyes:

In Ontario, our provincial CFO does all the approvals.
 
Transfer, Ontario to Ontario, individual seller and buyer, initiated Friday March 6th.
Transfer approved, today, April 17...6 weeks to the day.
