If you had declared in a previous application or renewal that you had suffered from depression that may have "flagged" your application on
the CPIC system under a sub section CFIP (Canadian Firearms Interest Police) basically a catch all where there might be some concern.
In which case the Canadian Firearms Centre in Miramichi NB may or may not have sent your application on for a secondary review.

What that means is that the application gets sent to the OPP HQ in Orillia and then either gets reviewed there by a Local Firearms Officer
or if its a Municipal Police Service gets sent to one of their Local Firearms officers.

Generally this can be cleared up in a phone call between you and the local firearms officer, who may or may not be a police officer, civilians can be designed across the country.

The main problem is how backed up are the officers doing the reviews and how long will it take them to pull your application for review.

If I was you I would confirm with the Canadian Firearms Centre that your application has been sent to OPP, I would then call the OPP in Orillia and ask to speak with a local firearms officer to give them a nudge along.

If you completed your application on-line, and your significant other was not available to sign it electronically, your app. will be forwarded to a firearms officer, who will call and interview your spouse. This is another reason for a delay….

They're keeping him hanging. Since that time,he and the wife split,so,there'll be that,too. She's trying to hang on like a junkyard dog,never missing an opportunity to yank his chain. Police know how to handle vindictive women and it won't be an issue. Still,though,it's just one more thing as firearm owners we need to deal with.

Sent mine in by snail mail back in Feb. but noticed the Visa charge in March so I should get it soon ?
