How long to get hunter number?

[MichelD]

Once someone passes the CORE test and brings the results to a Service BC office, do they get a hunter # right then, or do the results have to be sent to Victoria before the number is issued?

you get it right when you walk up to the office worker to me five minutes to get mine....

You will get your hunter # right there... then you can head strait to your local store and get your licenses.

I just got mine last month.
Once you pass your CORE, you mail the results to BCWF along with $30. BCWF mails you your certificate. You then take this certificate to a BC Service Centre and along with that and proof of BC residency they issue you a BC Hunter number on the spot.

One annoying thing is there is not a BC Service Centre in Victoria. I had to drive to Duncan.

this is true ... you dont take your test results to the service center you mail them to BCWF ... I paid the extra 10 bucks to rush the job sent it express post on a monday got my certificate on thursday or friday got my hunter number an hour and a half later (hour and 15 min was standing in line at BC service center)

They are all right, You can either mail or take your score to BCWF, I took mine to the office located in burnaby, I gave her $30 and she gave me my certificate and then i drove to Maple Ridge i think i gave her $2.50 and got my hunter number from Service Canada, i got them to liminate it. Then i went to International hunting Store and got my licence and tags that i needed. The whole process took me 3 hrs. If you mail it in, it takes you up to 4 weeks, depending on the location
