Anyone in ON know how long it's taking to get a transfer reference number on a handgun(s)?

I bought two on May 31st and June 1st in person at a LGS, and still no word...

Reference number is produced immediately upon initiating the transfer.

Contact the stores you bought from and ask them for it. Some places won't automatically just give it to you. I had to email my LGS to get the transfer number for my CZ.

Good advice I'll follow up on them.

Would the reference number show up online on my CFP page?

Not if it's a commercial sale.
