    Default Preliminary refused!

    Is this a new thing? Phoned cfr today and apparently was preliminary refused on the 5th. Anybody know anything about this? Spoke to a dfo and it's the first time they have heard of such a status!

    Spoke to a nice Afrikaans chap even put me through to the right guy. He was on leave and was told that it will be refused and he can't help me I should wait for the letter etc. Makes no sense to be honest.

    Usually there is couple of people putting your app through the process at CFR. Who check everything is in order. When it is. It is taken to the officer of that province for signing it. In Western Cape it use to Col Skakhani.
    I guess they now have this in place. Where these persons will note app as going to be refused. Prior to giving to the Col to sign off or look over.

    Im still of the believe CFR is still ticked off by loosing the court case earlier on renewals.
    Therefor they are punishing by refusing apps.

    I almost want to recall that sometime in last year there was mentioning that the DFO can now see on system reason for refusal.
    Or it was the Call Center staff. As usually you had to wait for refusal letter first.

    For which type of firearm did you apply.
    Also did you write your own motivation or did someone do it for you.
    If you sent in Dedicated Certificate and letter from organization showing your currently in good standing.
    Was this certificate and letter older then 3 months you attached.

    About 2 years back I was refused for 22lr Rifle and pistol. Reason was letter of goodstanding older then 3 months.
    I applied in about June. And letter was from Febr the same year.
    I just got new letter. Swapped it out and re-applied. Changed nothing else and both were approved.

    refusal letter is there on the dfo's system but the reason is blank
    all they can say me is wait until reason then appeal

    someone did my motivation for me i applied for sd due to working times on the road and the places i travel
    also wanted some action on range as all my friends meet up on the range
    this is my first firearm i didn't have any issues with the competency so i don't understand what went wrong

    just have to wait and see
