The BCCF receives membership dues from the CFC periodically, as do the other provinces.
There do not appear to be regular intervals (quarterly, semi-annually or whatever) for these funds to be remitted. This results in reminders and delays in reconciling provincial accounts receivable with CFC accounts payable. I would like to hear from the other provincial associations if they also find this to be a problem. I would also like to propose that the CFC establish a policy to remit provincial membership dues to the provincial associations at least semi-annually (30 April and 30 October).

When I was CFC Treasurer (and when I was BCCF Treasurer) the period was quarterly and was generally fairly regular.
I don't think the exact period is critical as long as it's reliable.
I would be happy with payment within 30 days of the dates I mentioned. The 30 April date is particularly important. being the end of the fiscal year.

When I was provincial treasurer my financials ALWAYS had an 'accounts receivable' showing the April payment which I usually had in had (usually already in the bank) by our provincial AGM which was the May long weekend. Since however the financials were as of 04/30 though it had to be shown as a receivable.
I offer this not to knock the present system but rather show what used to be taken for granted.
