Anyone know currently timeline for NOVA SCOTIA transfers? Also has anybody ever seen a transfer be denied?

I currently have a transfer in for a handgun I recently sold and I'm worried to spend the funds prior to the transfer clearing with everything going on.

Got my eyes on a local gun and am worried to miss out, but equally as worried to spend the funds and have something go wrong with my transfer and have to return the funds after spending them LOL

My transfer was approved in 24hrs last week with the NS CFO. This was a transfer between individuals.

Haha darn alright! Started the pistol transfer last Tuesday between to individuals so hopefully this upcoming week. I know last time my Restricted transfers were the same deal as your experience. Was just curious if it was still going quick. Thx!

Doesn’t hurt to email the NSCFO. I just had another transfer started by a retailer today and it was approved today by the NSCFO. I always email them with my reference number, pal details and a copy of my range membership.

After around a week or two it doesn't hurt to call in. Recently I had a transfer sitting in limbo because they needed to verify something about the gun and if I wouldn't have called in to ask what's up the transfer would have sat in purgatory indefinitely.
