A PAL (Possession and Acquisition Licence) is the standard Canadian licence required to possess and buy non-restricted firearms (e.g., most rifles and shotguns) and ammunition. An RPAL (Restricted PAL) is an upgraded licence required for restricted firearms (e.g., most handguns).

You must be 18+ and have a valid Government Issued Identification.  If convicted of a crime of moral turpitude, a Kings Pardon would be required before applying for your PAL/RPAL with the RCMP.  A junior PAL option is available for minors age 12-17, with parental permission and a signed waiver.

The course is $380.00.  This MUST be paid in CASH as it is paid directly to the instructor who does NOT accept credit, debit, or e-transfer transactions.   Your spot will only be secured once you have paid for your course in full.  Payment can be made at our store location 700 Kipling Ave, Unit 900, Toronto, ON M8Z 5G3. You can send a friend or family member to register and pay if you are unable to attend yourself.   If you are unable to attend and it is with 7 days of the course, you will be charged a $150.00 cancellation fee if we can not fill your spot.  The remaining balance of $230.00 will be applied to a future class.  There are NO REFUNDS.

The course takes place over the course of a weekend (check our site for the next set of dates).  Saturday you will focus on the instruction of the PAL content and must to complete and pass both a multiple choice written and a practical test. On Sunday you will be focusing on RPAL content and will be given an addition written multiple choice and practice test.  Upon successfully completing both days you will be able to apply for your license once you receive a confirmation email from the CFO (Chief Firearms Office).

Saturday: Arrive 7:45am (doors will not open before this time) to complete paperwork, class starts at 8:00am.   You will finish around 6:00pm, but this is a factor of how many students and how focused the class is.  Sunday: Arrive 8:00am (doors will not open before this time) and class will start as soon as everyone is in the class.  You will finish around 4:00pm, but this is a factor of how many students and how focused the class is.

NO! There is absolutely no live ammunition used in the course and all firearms have been deactivated for safety and to comply with all laws and regulation.

At the end of each day of class you will receive your written and practical scores.  approximately, four business days later you will receive an email from the RCMP regarding next steps for your application process.    If you have additional questions please go to https://rcmp.ca/en/firearms/apply-firearms-licence or contact the Chief Firearms Officer  at 1-800-731-4000 (From Canada or the USA).  DO NOT CALL THE STORE we do not have any insight into any applications, nor do we keep your test scores on record.  Everything is sent to the CFO's office.
