Bought 2 restricted handguns from a retailer May 30th in BC. STILL NO TRANSFER! It’s been 3 months, has anyone else waited this long? I keep seeing people saying they got theirs in less than 10 weeks. I called and got through all they said is “yup the transfer has been initiated, keep waiting”. This is ridiculous

Reference # 5880XXX

The transfer time is depend on CFO in your own province, but I would call CFP and find out if it's been 3 months.

If you made contact with them, and it's initiated, then at least you are in the que. Sometimes CFO would approve it on the spot.
