    Is this 28 day waiting period a new thing? Or something specific to your region? Otherwise, last I checked, the 28 day waiting period is for new applications for a Possession and Acquisitions License... Not for firearms transfer.
    Firearms transfer is usually much quicker (depending on province of course).

    I've only bought one restricted firearm and it took under a week for them to send me the registration so I could go pick it up. (I paid for the gun on a saturday and then by friday, I had the email saying it was in my name and could go pick it up.)

    As for transporting a restricted firearm:
    - the case the firearm is in must be locked,
    - the firearm itself must be secured with either a trigger or cable lock,
    - the firearm must be unloaded,
    - you must have your RPAL on you. (As per C-42 it's your ATT.)

    28 days is for getting your pal.

    transfer is on the whims of CFO/RCMP. It usually takes longer for your first restricted as they need to do the extra paper work to issue you the ATT. They may also verify that you have a range.

    Einstein said "time is relative" someone having a good time will see time go extremely fast, someone waiting for a response from bureaucrats not so much
    I'll do what I have to do and deal with the consequences of my actions later

    Hello.
    Can someone tell me why the reference # that I have is different with what the RCMP told me?
    another question, what exactly does the reference # mean? Thanks!

    Are you sure you wrote it down right? And the Ref # is just a file number for them for that transfer. So they can look up that transfer.

    When I purchased the rifle they gave me a number on the receipt and when I called the RCMP call centre they said my reference # was something else. 517-something ->518-something
