Update On Ontario Restricted Transfer Times

B-N said:
They definitely aren't being done in exact order. It seems like they are being done in stacks. I am guessing there are some high performers that work through their June 7 stacks faster and now they are going back through to clean up whatever is missing from that date.

After seeing this weeks progress I dont have high hopes for one of those big OT saturday pushes, it would be nice to be wrong.

I hope they work today, though at Taccom the cfo said OT was only available for 2 weekends. I idea if that has changed or not.

To be completely fair and disregarding any "politics" surrounding the out-of-order transfers... the data points on out-of-order transfers are kinda useless because there's no way to predict who's coming up next.

I do appreciate Wolf's work and the fact that he provided me a copy of his sheet early on, but in order to eliminate the conjecture on transfer rates (was present at the beginning with guess 50/75/100 transfers/day, not sure about now because I've looked for a while) and out-of-order transfer noise I've been maintain my own spreadsheet since roughly mid-July. It simply calculates overall averages (total average since May 30th and ~two-week (dependant on exact dates I have transfer #'s for) rolling average) based on the highest transfer number completed on any given day, taken from either this thread or my personal circle of friends. Very early after starting my spreadsheet from Wolf's data I caught some very obvious discrepancies between what information had been communicated from the CFO offices (both letters that have been released to dealers and what private individuals had shared from phone calls) and what was actually happening with numbers trickling in... I've since disregarded the "one third" claim and any claim from the CFO of the # of transfers being completed per day or week because at the end of the day it all cancels out when trying to predict when future transfers will go through, the math has been simplified greatly.

I feel that the sheet I've been maintaining is spitting out tentative dates on the long/high end, while Wolf's may be spitting out numbers on the short/low end... the reality is transfers will very likely fall somewhere between.
EDIT: Actually, just checked out Wolf's sheet, his is predicting similar dates to mine, and it seems he's stopped using CFO conjecture data.

They do tell us that there are less transfers to do now. And do affect those transfers in that same day/time period, which will be quicker for that period later on.
 
59239XX just got approved at 7:32 this morning, so it would appear that someone is still working weekends. Sad that this is my last pistol ever. It was an ONT business to ONT me transfer.
 
Considering the fact that there are in excess of four hundred posts on this issue, do you not think we should demand a change in the CFO's office.
He/she obviously can't do their job.
We should all contact our MP's demanding a change.
Perhaps that would make a change.
Here in Ontario, I have two transfers waiting, one on July 3/22 and another Aug. 30/22
Someone should be looking for a new job, due to their incompetence.

What kind of change do you 'demand'? You go ahead and contact your MP and demand a change and see what happens (CFO's office is Provincially run so good luck with that). Plesse let us know what they are going to do.
Since the ban announcement, they have literally had tens of thousands of transfer applications and are doing their best, including working on Saturdays. Everyone has been patient, including myself who has been waiting for a few months, but getting close to approval for one.
 
Don’t blame the Ontario CFO office as they were instantly overwhelmed with no prior notice. Blame the Liberal Government that indiscriminately, and again with no prior notice, sprung C-21 on the entire Canadian firearm industry and every Canadian gun owner.
 
I do not blame the CFO at all. Doesn’t matter if it is a CFO, an auto mechanic, a retail store or pretty much everything in life - if your workload increases by 1000%, or even 100%, there will be delays.

The fact that the CFO has hired staff on a contract basis and are working weekends to clear this tells me that they are doing what is needed to speed this process up.

It’s not the fault of the staff or management that they got blindsided by the crush that came in.
 
Purchased Friday afternoon(14 October) from Ontario business to Ontario private. Transfer 60525xx another data point for Wolf’s spreadsheet.

No. It's not their fault their workload increased, but it IS their fault that every other province made adjustments and got their backlogs addressed by now except Quebec and Ontario. Ontario should have brought in over a dozen new processors as temp help to clear the backlog. They've had 5 months now to do that, what support they did bring in is like applying a bandaid to an amputation.
