Application / Regulation advice Alberta Olympic Exemption for handguns

Hey guys I'm interested in getting the Olympic Exemption in Alberta. I'm still trying to understand the process a bit as I've heard some people have gotten it without a letter from the SFC. I'd like to get a fn502 from IRG probably so I can convert it to 9mm but just curious if someone could explain their experience as It seems to vary a little by province. Thanks!

What did you import? I have a fn502 that will be imported soon through irunguns. They said it shouldn’t be a problem and neither did BCTSA

I started simple and set in motion an import for a ruger mk4 22/45, in case I bought a super high end pistol and the exemption didn’t clear. Now that it’s clear I’ll definitely be getting more exemptions haha. Now to try and find a coach for higher calibers
