Canadian Firearms Safety Courses (CFSC) are required to obtain your Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) and Restricted Possession and Acquisition Licence (RPAL). Formerly known as the Firearms Acquisition Certificate (FAC)
Once you have passed your course(s), you then apply to the RCMP for your licence
This takes on average, 2-6 months of processing by the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program (CFP)
Once you have your PAL you can then purchase firearms and ammunition

LiveFire Small Arms Coaching
Want to head to the range but not sure you are ready to go by yourself?
Want to dip your toes into shooting before you commit to taking your CFSC courses?
We have three courses that can help! Introduction to Handguns, Introduction to Rifles, and our Introduction to Firearms courses will walk you through all aspects of shooting, range etiquette, and safety using a wide variety of firearms! None of which require you to have your PAL yet!
Have your own firearms and want to improve your shooting? We can help with that too with our Small Arms Coaching.
Need an Authorization to Carry (ATC) for Lawful Employment (Security Guard, Trapper, Outfitter) or Personal Protection? We can do the testing for that too.
