Once your application is received and data entered at the CPS, you are subject to a mandatory 28-day waiting period before your licence is printed and mailed to you. In all, the process takes about 3 months from start to finish.

PAL APPLICATION STATUS After you have sent in your PAL application package with your course results to the Canadian Firearm Program (CFP), you can check on the status of your PAL application by contacting the Canadian Firearms Program (CFP): Call the RCMP Canadian Firearm's Program (CFP) at 1-800-731-4000, or.

No, your CFSC/CRFSC certificates are good forever. Theoretically you may even lose your safety training certificate, RCMP will still have that in their records. But you will have to use 5592 form instead of 5614.

The time required to process a PAL application may vary. The CFP and a Chief Firearms Officer (CFO) may take time in normal circumstances to review an application, for example, the application may be incomplete or an investigation may be needed to assess public safety risk, which is paramount.

The Possession and Acquisition Licence ( PAL ) is the only licence available to new applicants aged 18 or older. You must pass the Canadian Firearms Safety Course before you can apply for a PAL . PALs are renewed every five years.

Expiry : This certificate does not expire. *Handbook is available online or at cost from the course provider.
