Application / Regulation advice Anyone still waiting for handgun transfer approvals for USA imports since July?

Is anyone still waiting for handgun transfer approvals for USA imports since July? Specifically referring to Olympic exemption 22LR letters already submitted for IRG orders.

Has anyone heard what is going on or the reason for the delays? The usual transfer approval timeline should be 2-3 weeks max once the letter is submitted to the RCMP. Without the transfer approval nothing can be imported or shipped. It usually takes 2 weeks for the approval and another 1 week to get the registration certificate mailed. For some it has been almost 2 months.

Yes they will send you a email asking for the letter. You can also send it before the ask the cfo email with your transfer number if you know it

So you need a coach letter and training log signed by coach?When I applied this was not the requirement and I did not put any coaches name and still got the exemption letter.

You still don’t need a coach, it helps a ton. But you do need a training log now and proof.

I didn’t need a training log when I got my letter, but he figured I should give him one anyway

I appreciate the info! Just want to clarify I do not want more exemption letters and in your opinion,while I am waiting for my transfer to get approved if I go to the range and practice with bb/pellet guns and get a rso to sign off in a training log should that suffice for proof if rcmp asks for extra proof for my current transfer?

Yeah that should suffice
