STATT timelines?

[6MT]

The STATT is issued out of Miramishi. The registration certificate is issued out of Ottawa. The STATT is only issued to get your firearm to your home from the post office or store. That's it. The transfer is issued to get a new registration certificate to the new owner.

If you have proof of membership to a certified range, your STATT ,and the LTATT for that matter, will be issued almost immediately. You can receive them by fax or e-mail and copy it to use to get your firearm home.

So, when you get your ATT's, you can take it home. You cannot take it to use at a range until you receive your registration certificate. These can take up to three weeks to get because it is issued from Ottawa.

So, when you receive the original certificate, you can then legally take your firearm to a range to shoot.

It sucks......welcome to Canadian firearms regulations.

Alrightty, I got it figured out (and got my gun!).

Before going to pick up, I had to have:
(1) Buyers transfer form (received from RCMP in the mail)
(2) Registration (received from RCMP in the mail)

Then the seller receives:
(1) Seller transfer form (from the RCMP)

THEN, I apply for and receive:
(1) STATT (short-term authorization to transport).

After killing those rainforests, I was able to pick up the new firearm.

Looking forward to hitting the range tomorrow (yes, I have my LTATT already)!

According to the BC CFO the "Transfer Notification" is fine enough until the Registration Certificate arrives.

Yes I know the ATT states "The holder must be in possession of the registration certificate" but if that was set in stone, then you wouldn't even be able to take the gun home from the store until the certificate was mailed to you now would you?

According to the CFC, and yes, I specifically asked this exact question, 'He can take the firearm home and store it safely there until the registration arrives in the mail. He cant take it to the range until he has it.'

Yes I've asked the same question to the ladies at the CFC and got the same answer (They even told me I couldn't pick the gun up from the store without my Reg Cert). The BC CFO told me different.
