I personally know people who've has restricted transfers approved for "all purposes listed in the Firearms Act"

Then I think that person is BS-ing you because that isn't even possible, the CFP's program for transfers has to explicitly specify one reason for the transfer to be occurring. Just try and tell them you are purchasing a gun for collector status when your previous R's have been for target practice and you will have some issues.

Though it is good to note that self-defense is a valid reason within the Firearms Act, even if the RCMP generally refuse to allow it
