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.

Hmmm interesting. Not sure why as you already have a letter so it shouldent matter.

So I haven’t heard of anyone else having the rcmp contact the BCTSA for more info but me. Unless people aren’t asking enough questions

Have you gotten multiple handguns through the exemption process?
