Hello. I have a few questions

[dkujune]

Hello, I’m new to this forum. I recently purchased a restricted firearm on October 6th. I went to the RCMP website to try to check the status of the firearm transfer, so I entered the information required but it says no registration application was found. Can someone advise me what I need to do? I just want to check the status. Also, I was told that when I pick up the firearm I have to bring a case and trigger lock. I want to know if I should buy a hard case, do you think a soft case is fine for a restricted rifle? Thanks!

Call the 1 800 731 4000 number. If the business gave you a ref number, just give that to them. Also depends on your province, the time it takes to complete it.

Is the soft case lockable?

If they didn't give you the reference number don't worry you can still call and they can look it up by your PAL.
Like Robert said a soft case is fine IF you can somehow lock it.

thanks for the fast response! I’m living in Ontario, and I was given a reference # on the receipt when I purchased it.

Just had the paperwork for a friends go through in less than 3 weeks here in Ontario.

There's a 28 day waiting period for new applications too. Remember that none of the process has anything to do with being convenient or easy for you. And logic does not apply.
There's no requirement for a hard case. Isn't a horrible idea though.
