You can have a restricted length upper, without registering your lower as restricted. Just like you can own one WITHOUT A GUN LICENSE.

I have a 7.5" upper and 18.6" upper.

The 18.6" upper is what the gun was purchased and invoiced as non restricted.

The gun is transported with the 7.5" upper not installed.

When I get to the range I install the 7.5" upper, as shooting restricted firearms requires you to be at a range. However you do not need to phone the RCMP every time you switch you upper unless its going to be permanent, and then even then there is a grace peroid.

Source: I phoned the RCMP and asked if I have to register and unregistered the gun every time I swap uppers at the range, to which they replied no, because if I have 4-5 uppers im shooting that day.. it would be ridiculous.

Having that 7.5" upper in my house DOES NOT make my NR rifle suddenly restricted, Nor does it during transport.

If my friend with no gun license buys and assembles a 7.5" upper than fits on my NR lower, and we are in the same car together. Then what? We register it as a kid and raise it as a parents?? Our laws are ridiculous.

My guess is you had someone who had no clue what they're talking about, as there seems to be quite a few instances they give wrong advice.

I wouldn't take the chance personally, sounds like asking for trouble.

If I were you I would get the CFO to say this in writing, then post it here, so we can all print the letter and keep it in our range bag should something ever happen But somehow I doubt you will get it in writing.

You’de be in possession of an unregistered restricted firearm, which is not allowed. Ultimately it’s your life, but if you play stupid games you’ll win stupid prizes.

The laws certainly are convoluted and in many cases contradictory, I agree.
There also is a lot of differences that are not supposed to be between provinces due to differences in interpretation between CFO's who also change from man to man within the same province.
Case in point. I used to shoot at a club in B.C. along with several clubs in Alberta. The Alberta CFO requires me to obtain a STATT for when I want to go to B.C., yet talking with the CFO in B.C. she says she can issue a Canada wide ATT. When I requested this from Alberta was told they no longer issue Canada wide. Sometimes it is best to work with what you have so I did not push it.
I would get it in writing from your CFO in order to CYA as what you posted would not work here. I know I tried.

In this scenario you have a restricted license. I believe the OP does not have a restricted status on his license. You're right in your scenario it's a moot point swapping uppers.

But if you're not licensed, you 're not licensed.
You are not breaching the firearms laws you're breaching your licensing.
