I was this old today when I learned that the buyer can initiate a restricted transfer.
I managed to get through to the CFP this afternoon to process two transfers as the buyer. I asked if I could conference in a 3rd person, the seller, to initiate another transfer.
The officer said they would not do a conference call, but they were happy to go ahead with initiating the transfer from my side, ie, the buyer's side.
Wait, wut?
They explained that as long as the buyer's name, phone number, and PAL number and serial or registration of the firearm is available, the transfer can be initiated by the seller . If the seller initiates, the buyer confirms. If the buyer initiates, the seller confirms.
Mind blown! On the RCMP page, for restricted and prohibited, there is no statement of order, just that the CFP must speak to both parties.
In my case, i was short firearm information, so I couldn't start it.
