Lol you're definitely not alone. Ever since the announcement they made back in May, people have been buying restricted firearms like crazy and it's causing a sharp influx of calls on top of them having pretty full queues before.

Has anyone heard of longer processing times ? A transfer was submitted 2 weeks ago by mail using their form from the website and still haven't heard nothing. Last time a transfer was initiated it took less than 48 hours...

Yeah of course. Every week a few people usually mention their wait times as a point of reference for the rest of us. Earlier in this thread there are people who still haven't gotten their transfers approved from mid-May.
