Quick update on mine:
Card Received Kuly 23 @ ~13:30
Picked Up my .22 rifle at ~ 14:30
Along with 500rds & a case so I don't scare the neighbours
Now I just have to find a range to go play at. My one buddy's schedule is all over the place.
(I need to find more gun friends
)

The indoor range in Port Coquitlam lets you shoot .22, a little far from north van though
Hmmm.... I've been reading this thread and I was about to call in when one of my former RCMP friends told me not to pester them, as they are currently dealing with calls about the new regulations. And calls to them are almost non-stop.
Mine was received on June 9th, 2015, as of July 24th, it will have been 45 days. He suggested I wait until the end of the first week in August before giving them a call.
Private sale transfers have also been slowed down, another friend as been waiting more than 2 weeks for it.

The Indoor range is only 11 yards, iirc. I'd rather drive the extra few min. to the outdoor PoCo range.... I think they have public (non-member) times ... gotta look into this.
From North Van, PoCo and Squamish are the two closest, and they are about the same travel time for me. And since Squamish isn't taking anymore new members this year, I'm somewhat limited in options.
The outdoor poco range is a no go for me as I work nights, so they're closed by the time I wake up.. but the new indoor range in Langley will hopefully be open soon: http://www.therangelangley.com/
A bit of a drive for you, though.

Nice! Should be just a few more days to scan the photo in and then you're good to go
Update time for me too..
Mailed June 22 via registered mail from BC
Received June 26 in Miramichi
Appeared in the system (and credit card charged) on July 16 (20 days after receipt)
Called on July 28 to make sure that my application was not missing anything and was told that I could have a reference call in (RPAL) without even having to ask! I guess I lucked out with who I spoke with.

I also work nights, But I can move around my sleep time, or only go out on my days off. It is a shame that the PoCo range closes at 4:30.
As I understand it, its to keep noise complaints from the surrounding area down.... shooting only allowed when most people are at work/school. Thought that's just a guess.
