Once I moved to Northern Canada I learned that calling the CRA is a true joy. No wait time ever because the territories get a dedicated line lol

I called the CFO in Ontario and the lady said there was only two of them answering calls for the whole of Ontario.

I went to TACCOM one year (2021/22 iirc) and was surprised that CFOON has a booth there. The guy told me they really just had 3 people processing handgun transfers... I feel bad for them as the great C21 handgun rush happened.

Man, I was in the middle of moving everything to my new house and had to be out of my old place in a few hours and they kept me on hold at least 30min

I'm so glad the online portal is here. I have since moved twice with that system and it's so simple and painless. Log in, select handgun, select ATT reason (moving address), enter address and time, done. ATT issued immediately.

Wow, a portal makes so much sense.
