Anybody have recent experience with BC transfer times? Bought a new restricted on friday.

About 1-2 weeks for the transfer, about 3-4 weeks for the registration certificate to turn up.

Nice! I transferred a restricted at the beginning of last month and it took about a week for the transfer to be approved and about 3 weeks after that for the registration certificate to arrive.

Dang, I was hoping it'd be closer to the ontario times of 3 days.
