Post expiry .ca transfers (1.Viewing)

I have never tried to transfer a .ca domain name after expiry.

I have a .ca that I just sold (at liquidation prices) - it is now 3 days expired and at Dynadot. I can still renew it there, but is it necessary to renew for it to transfer out to another registrar? On the Whois I see it now says owner transfer prohibited, so I wonder if that i what it means?

Thank for any help from those with experience in post-expiry transfer.

No, but you will have to contact the registrar to get them to unlock the domain for transfer... which may open up another kettle of fish.

Some registrars will let you do a push, then the new owner can renew.
