Has anyone moved residences with pending transfers?

I have some restricted transfers pending for 2+ months and may be moving soon. Can’t reach the CFP at all. I’m assuming if I update my address online, at the very least the transfers won’t be approved/pistols won’t be sent to my (soon-to-be) old address? That’s my main concern

Email your provincial CFO, also do the change of address online with the RCMP

As other poster said, update using IWS and contact the RCMP (one way or another) to ensure they don't screw up on their end, and then also let the corresponding gun dealer know of your address change too

Cheers! Just following up to say this was the exact recommendation from the CFO.

The RCMP system updates instantly, and they advised reaching out to the retailer to ensure they update the shipping on their end.
