Misc C21 exemption in Ontario?

I've seen tons of posts about BC and AB, but does anyone know how to go about getting one in ON?

In Ontario, it's:

  1. Join SFC and ONTarget
  2. Borrow gun (ha! if possible ...)
  3. Shoot a sanctioned match or more
  4. Apply to SFC for an exemption

Is step 2 an actual step ? How do you borrow a gun

That’s the difficult part: Friends, family, club members, or some clubs do have rental/loaner guns.

You can get a temporary transfer for up to 6 months.

But considering buying a new handgun is very difficult, borrowing a handgun can be tricky for new shooters since everyone wants to protect their “precious”.

If you are talking about a borrowers permit I don’t think it’s 6 months anymore. Just got approved until the expiry of the pistol holders PAL (in mid 2028). So what’s that, almost 2 full years permit?
