That information is incorrect unless you are referring to a first time buyer. I have a friend that received a June 6th transfer on August 8th. If it is your first purchase then yes I have another friend in that boat and he has yet to receive his transfer for a beginning of May purchase. In Quebec, there seems to be two queues, one for new owners and one for existing.

Edit: all mentioned transfers are all to Quebec residents.

I understand, not trying to discredit you. I am simply trying to tell you this information is incorrect. Between my group of friends we have many transfers in queue at the moment so I am trying to follow and extrapolate that information. If you give me the first 4 digits of your transfer I can let you know when the transfer took place more or less and when I believe it will clear. Keep in mind that even if you bought on the 31st, it does not mean your transfer was entered on that day.
