I logged into this this morning:"Your application has been processed and your licence has been issued. If you have not received your licence within 2 weeks please contact the Canadian Firearms Program Toll Free number (1-800-731-4000)."

From what people were saying here I assumed they issued the license number at this point so I can do an online order? Or do I have to wait 2 more weeks for that number?

EDIT: Also, do I get the Sig P320 Carry w/o the mounting plate cut, or P320 M17 with R2 plate? (I plan on adding red dot, but I love the look of the carry.)

Get what you can because you’re running out of time/options.

You can call in and get the number.

Yeah? I thought calling was frowned upon with how busy they are?

Gotta look out for #1 my friend.

People are salty because they think calling in is somehow making their transfers take longer but I doubt the phone agents are even the same people processing transfers.

I’ve called twice in the last 6 weeks. Don’t let some salty Redditors stop you.

If I can actually get through.

I've been on the phone for hours. Then again, that's sounds like the norm.

I’ve contacted the alberta CFO twice in the last 6 weeks and both times I got through in less than 35 minutes
