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?

What firearm was it for if I may ask? The govt contacted me and said they needed my exemption letter before they would start on anything else, did you hand anything to them yet?

I bought the pistol, sent the CFO my exemption to put on my file
Then waited for it to be finalized
I knew they would ask for it so I made sure they had it before they had to ask for it
