CFO Shutdown?
I talked to Cabelas customer service (for shipping orders) today and I was told by the person on the phone she heard that the CFO office is being closed down during this emergency.
Can someone confirm if they heard rumblings of this? She didn't sound very experienced or knowledgeable in general so maybe she was confused or just ill informed. I am not looking to spread rumors, just want some information from some people on this forum that may know more |
It's true, was on the radio.
Email only, expect long delays. |
Yup old buddy of mine retired RCMP still hangs with the local members for coffee told me yesterday CFO closed for a min 2 weeks, expect longer than normal wait times, mine expires in 2024, hope they are open by then :thinking-006:

From their website: "Due to measures taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we are currently experiencing service delays. We apologize for any inconvenience."

Heaven forbid that Betty the clerk has to log in via VPN and work from home to proses applications. I’m sure CUPE is ensuring that she is still paid and is given a stress pillow to squeeze. Remember, it’s for the common good.

The Federal computer system is not designed for the loading of remote work in this emergency, so they will prioritize.
CUPE has nothing to do with the Federal employees of the Firearms Centre. Paper pushing is far from the highest priority. |

Anyone else think that they half did this on purpose?

Dang, just sent in my RPAL application a month ago. Will be waiting a while!
|
Sure, paper pushing is much of the reason for the Firearms Centre.
So let's be clearer, the Firearms regulations paperwork are not the highest priority in an unprecedented epidemic. The last epidemic of such threatening public health dimensions was the 1918/19 flu. The economic implications, in an information technology world, are worse. |
Did my RPAL renewal on line about 3 weeks ago. Got the letter asking for a range membership, etc. Faxed them the info last Friday, not sure what to think. It would be nice if they gave you an email to send that info to.

Glad I got my renewal done and in my hands a month ago....

Expect a grace period for expired PAL if they cannot process renewals.
Is everything a panic these days? |
Mine is good to 2023. One way or another, think they all have much bigger fish to fry at this point! :snapoutofit:

Also, not that it is a good excuse, but given that I work in IT I'd rather not trust the RCMP to quickly roll out remote work tools like VPNs in a secure manner. Most police stations are likely stuck in early 2000s software/hardware because of privacy concerns and budget restrictions. |
Mine was going to expire in July. I am now good for much longer now.
As long as your in the process of renewing you can still posess firearms???? Might have trouble getting ammo though. |

During the 6 months with your expired PAL, you cannot transport firearms or purchase ammunition. After the 6 months has pased, the police can seize your firearms. If you are renewing, use the online renewal process. The CFC accepts a selfie picture (head and shoulders) for the online renewal. For RPAL's, monitor the CFC website to see when the application is passed to the CFO. Call the CFO when they have your application, get an email address from the clerk and send a scanned image of your range pass to the CFO. |

Send a scan or photo of your range membership with your renewal for RPAL. Why wait ? You know they are going to ask for it.
