BC restricted transfer time:

I called BC CFO today and though they did not offer to process mine she did say she is working on around middle of July right now.

If I could ask, how long ago was your transfer initiated, and did she give a reason why not?

I’m asking because I’m trying to gauge when I should start calling. I’m thinking about 2 months, but I don’t any to waste time if that’s too soon (*also, it’s wild that 2 months could be seen as being impatient!).

I had called after 32 days and got it approved with no fuss, so if you keep track of the Agent names you may be able go get ahold of one that will approve it for you (im in BC). Best of luck to you, I wish this stuff was automated god damnit it's 2022

Awesome, thanks! I’m coming up on my one month purchase anniversary so I might start trying sooner than later.
