Transfer times in BC

[DiMP]

How long are paper registrations taking in the mail after email notice?

My paper copies showed up about 10 (business) days after I got the e-mail confirmations

 

[BeezerChris]

Yup. Ten days for the paperwork arrive after email. My Aug 18 order is in my hands now and paperwork arrived yesterday. My transfer of several handguns to my daughter on August 20, sent registered mail, is still in process but cleared the BC office and is in process at the Registry. Whatever that means.

 

[g2mike]

can also confirm exactly 10 business days from email notice to papers in the mail

Very happy to have my last handgun finally coming my way, but its bittersweet knowing this may well be the last one I can ever buy in this country.

Yeah, have a 6028### that hasn't gone through. I haven't had anyone pick up the phone there in weeks so still just waiting.

Just a quick update. I gave up on the phone, and simply emailed cfpcfounit@rcmp-grc.gc.ca yesterday morning.
I had my transfer # in the subject line, and was really polite (it's not their fault trudeau is a goof). Transfer was completed before 4pm.

Might work for anyone still waiting. My transfer was started the beginning of Sept.
