It took 2 weeks from the first May 31 report to first June 1 report, June 3rd could be 4 or 5 weeks out to start, no idea when to finish

Looks like a-nope, they seemed to have slowed down even below lower level estimates. May 31 5888x transfers still not complete.

Do you have a sense of the rate in Ontario? Specifically is it about one calendar day a week etc. I've got a June 6th and 23rd transfers (retail purchases) I'm curious as to approximate completion.

I bought via private sale. Seller finally got through to the CFP June 9th and got the reference. I finally got through June 14th to complete the transfer and registration with CFP. Yesterday, seller called the Ontario CFO and was told it will take 3 months or so for them to sign off on it.

3 months.

Well, if I’m lucky, I’ll have the new RPAL card with ATT and registration certificate by then...

Don't believe their numbers. They give long times to manage expectations. It will be longer than Ontario's normal 4 weeks though.
