Does anyone know how long it takes to obtain registration for restricted firearms? I have 2 pistols that I received a few weeks ago but nothing from the rcmp. Do I need to register? The store I bought them from in Vancouver didn’t tell me that I needed to do anything. Thank you!

Typically it is 2 weeks. It may be longer right now do to backlogs. You don't need to do anything. Once you have the transfer notification, the registration certificate will be sent out automatically.
