Is it impossible to do a transfer now? I tried multiple times on Friday just to eventually get "we're having a system problem, try again later" and then it never even answered after that.

Trying again today, on hold for 20 mins then get the "we're having a system problem.." message again. Has anyone actually got through to CFP recently?

No, you can still transfer restricted firearms.
Expect it to take a month.

How do you actually get hold of someone to initiate the transfer? After 20 mins or so, it says they have system problems and then when you call in, it doesn't even put you on hold for the rest of the day. Is there another way to do it?

By mail, by facsimile, call your MP and/or ombudsman.
