UPDATE FOR ONTARIO RESTRICTED TRANSFER WAIT

I emailed the CFO yesterday with a few questions I had, one of them being the current wait. The guy called me just now and said that they are currently working on transfer applications for the days of May 6/7.

My application was recieved by them on May 31 and the guy said for that it will take about a month, maybe just under a month.

Whoever wants to know wait times for their application can probably just extrapolate from that

"WHY ARE HOLD TIMES SO LONG!!???!"

Govt should hire like 15 more employees for temp work to get through this. But no they are probably saving "their" money for a 1% MSRP "buy" back next year or some shit

They should just automate half the stuff as well but you know how it is.. no way they want to spend more money supporting atm

Yea honestly, they would've saved money by this point at least if they went that route originally. Nothing's going to change any time soon now at least

They could’ve saved all of this money if they hadn’t cut boarder budget years ago lol
