Application / Regulation advice Alberta Olympic Exemption for handguns

Hey guys I'm interested in getting the Olympic Exemption in Alberta. I'm still trying to understand the process a bit as I've heard some people have gotten it without a letter from the SFC. I'd like to get a fn502 from IRG probably so I can convert it to 9mm but just curious if someone could explain their experience as It seems to vary a little by province. Thanks!

CFO wasn’t actually involved in my exemption transaction, it was the federal mirimichi office that contacted me the whole time and asked for my exemption and informed me that my transfer was complete. I didn’t get one call from the BC CFO or one email

I know for private transfers I believe you have to contact the CFO. My transfer was from a business so I’m not sure if that changes things? For me personally, all I know is that both times the govt contacted me about this transfer, it was New Brunswick

I think business have a more straightforward online process. CFP will contact buyer, and perhaps BC cfo will still approve of the transfer as well
