I managed to purchase a handgun from a business before the ban (on the 20th) and they gave me a Transfer Ref #

Do I need to call in and do anything or just way the x amount of months for the transfer to process (store is in ON, I'm in BC)?

How long does it take for these to get processed lately?

That's good to hear! I heard Ontario has some delays so I was concerned I'd be waiting a few months haha

How long do you recommend waiting before calling to get it pushed through though?

Ooh this chart is useful thanks!

...I guess it's gonna take awhile even though I'm BC-based since the business is Ontario based

Nope, it doesn't apply to you at all. YOUR transfer is with YOUR CFO. This spreadsheet is for Ontario.
