Application / Regulation advice Olympic exemption

I got my exemption and purchased a pistol on may 18th, the first week of June the CFO had the papers and a week later I got the reference number. It’s now been over a month, with one follow up call and they said ‘it’s still on their desk and hasn’t been reviewed’

I own a couple other registered pistols from pre-ban times

How long have others waited for this process to be finalized?

UPDATE: received transfer notice this morning !
4 days short of two months after purchase

BC approved mine in about 2 weeks. Just came in the mail! Which handgun did you purchase if I may ask?

6.5” 9 shot Taurus tracker revolver

Sick, I was thinking of doing a Taurus tracker, but wasn’t sure if they’d approve it since it’s 22LR and 22WMR. I know what I’m filing for next!!

From what I gathered, as long as it’s 22cal and Rimfire it’s good, doesn’t specifically need to be 22lr

But same, I was stoked on the 2nd cylinder but also wasn’t sure if it would cause a hang up. But, all clear!

Fuck I’m definitely wiling for my tracker exemption next haha. Thanks for the confirmation that it’s possible! (Did you put 22LR and 22WMR on the paperwork or just 22LR?)

Actually another question if I may ask, and you can DM or not respond if you don’t feel comfortable, but did you denote .22LR on the paperwork, and import the .22LR version and buy the .22WMR cylinder separately, or import the dual cylinder version and just put .22LR as the caliber?
