The basics
There are currently two ways for individuals to acquire handguns in Canada. This post explains one of them, commonly known as the "Olympic exemption." This post focuses on restricted handguns, so any reference to "handguns" below means restricted handguns.
To acquire a handgun you must obtain a registration certificate for that specific handgun. Registration certificates for handguns are no longer issued to individuals unless they are exempted by law. Individuals covered by the Olympic exemption can get registration certificates for handguns issued, meaning they can acquire handguns.
How do you get the Olympic exemption?
By annually providing an exemption letter from a provincial or national sport shooting governing body to a Chief Firearms Officer (CFO).
Quésaco?: the letter is what allows new acquisitions. It is NOT required TO KEEP a handgun you already have a registration certificate for. So if you acquire a handgun this year and don't provide a letter next year, you keep the handgun, you just can't acquire new ones until you provide another letter.
Provincial vs. national sport shooting governing body
Each province has its own process for getting a letter from the provincial shooting governing body, and some provinces don't issue them at all. For example, the FQTIR in Quebec does not issue them, but the BCTSA in British Columbia does.
If your province does not issue letters or if you live in a territory, you go through a national sport shooting governing body such as the Shooting Federation of Canada (SFC), which covers all of Canada and has a somewhat standardized process.
Do the provincial bodies in my province issue letters?
- Alberta — NO
- British Columbia — BCTSA
- Manitoba — NO
- New Brunswick — NO
- Newfoundland and Labrador — NO
- Nova Scotia — NO
- Ontario — NO
- Prince Edward Island — NO
- Quebec — NO
- Saskatchewan — NO
If there is a change in you province, please drop a comment or DM me so I can update this post.
How to get a letter from the SFC
The process is neither quick nor easy, but people have reported it working for them. It is not a recommended path, and not a guarantee that any given step is required or sufficient in your case. Adapt as needed for your situation and keep in mind that issuance of a letter is discretionary.
- Get your RPAL. If you're in Quebec, also complete your Loi 9 course.
- Join a shooting club.
- Join the SFC by buying a membership and stay a member in good standing (don't do anything stupid).
- Get access to a suitable handgun to train and compete with. For the SFC, "suitable" means a .22 LR handgun. In practice this means finding someone, a friend or a club, to lend you one, either on the spot or longer term. This is the convoluted step. Some people report using handguns of other calibers, air pistols/rifles, or even .22 LR rifles and still getting the letter. The most commonly reported method remains .22 LR handguns. If you've personally done it with something else, please share your first-hand story (not hearsay) in the comments.
- Train for roughly 4–6 months. This is the figure the SFC keeps citing as what most people submit. This means shooting at a club and documenting it (photos of yourself and/or dated, signed targets).
- Shoot at least one match during this period. Some say it must be a sanctioned event, others say club matches count, and a few report no competing at all. The most commonly reported method is at least one SFC-sanctioned match, because the SFC gets those results on file. For club matches, get proof (photos, scores, registry, etc.). The point is to show the SFC that you actually train and/or compete.
- Email the director of sport development (the members email on the SFC website) with all your collected proof and inquire about getting an exemption letter.
- Tell them which handgun make/model you want the letter for. The handgun must meet ISSF/Olympic pistol standards. Current policy appears to be at most 3 handguns per exemption, .22 LR only. If you wanted a 4th, you'd have to forfeit one of your existing exemptions (you keep any handgun you already acquired, you just lose the ability to acquire a new one under that slot). Some people report getting open-ended exemptions covering any and all .22 LR handguns meeting Olympic specifications.
- Wait for the SFC to send you the exemption letter. Once received, send it to the seller.
- Buy the handgun. The seller will initiate a transfer and submit your exemption letter to the CFO. \This step needs clarification on the timeline of the import process with an importer. Please share your experience.*
- Wait for CFO approval. Once approved, you can pick up the handgun and the transfer is complete. Don't forget your ATTs for every transport at this step.
None of this is a guaranteed formula. The SFC's decision is discretionary at every step, other people have gotten letters with different paths (see the caveats above), and your circumstances may call for a different approach.
Some clarifications from the SFC
- Proof of involvement in the sport is REQUIRED. They are adamant that the intention to train/compete is not sufficient.
- 25m Rimfire Pistol events appear to be the only eligible category. This means ISSF 25m Rimfire Pistol matches and potentially local clubs Bullseye matches.
- What do I submit as proof of involvement? Most shooters submit competition results from open matches, usually supplemented with proof of training such as pictures of signed/dated targets, and their coach or club leader's name and email as references to verify training dates. Some combination of the above, demonstrating involvement over a minimum 4–6 month period.
- How can I borrow a handgun? Clubs are generally aware of the requirements and offer beginner/entry opportunities, including formal or informal chances to borrow a firearm to be introduced to the sport. The harder way involves finding someone who already owns a handgun and is willing to lend it to you. This can be done either by allowing you to use it in their presence or by lending it to you for an extended period, by contacting the CFO.
- Which calibers are eligible? The SFC provides exemption letters for .22 caliber handguns. As part of the application you must specify which firearm you're seeking an exemption for and confirm it meets the ISSF pistol requirements (ISSF Rule Book 2026, Chapter 8, p. 375).
- *UPDATE July 24, 2026* Which competitions count? Based on reports from an Ontario club, Olympic-style Rimfire Pistol Bullseye club competitions DO count toward the exemption letter. However, the SFC advised Rifle Bullseye DOES NOT. Reports suggest you'll need a minimum of 3 match results, spread across at least 2 different clubs.

Pretty detailed and great write up! Though I will say, here in BC I don’t have to provide a letter annually to the CFO. It was a one and done transaction. BC also for the most part is dishing out exemptions for a variety of .22s, including revolvers, not just Olympic level ones like Pardini’s or GSP’s

A word of warning CFO and provincial governments change - As per the law a CFO could ask for a letter every year

u/Curious_Joe2020 2d ago
Which won't hold up in court. They can't untransfer and seize something after the fact once licensed and acquired. What about all the boomers who had handguns are they providing yearly letters and doing checkins too? No.
3
u/Flaky_Process_3780 2d ago
You are absolutely correct but what will happen is that loop hole will be harder and harder for others to use as people would be taking advantage - and the federations will probably unfortunately have to make their rules for exemption even more strict -
I just say this if you are trying to obtain this way you should at least care about the sport and want to participate in it to not hurt future athlete later
It is just my personal two cents
2
u/Dill_Pickle_Tears 2d ago
I wouldn’t go as far as to call it a loophole, since it’s meant to give shooters an entry to participate in the sport? But I do agree with this.
Exemption process was relatively obscure less than a year ago. Now, with popularity increasing, I feel hopeful/excited but simultaneously weary that the process will become further standardized and strict
2
u/Flaky_Process_3780 1d ago
Hey yea I agree lack of a better word for loop hole-
I have acquired and used the exemption and participate in the sport and matches every 8 weeks - I just hope others do the same so that promising young athletes don't have a harder time.

u/Dill_Pickle_Tears 20h ago
Exactly my plan as well! Already stockpiling .22lr match ammo for our bullseye league at my club and hope to start competing this season

u/conanap 1d ago
I’m not sure it won’t hold up in court - this wasn’t in an OIC, it was in a parliament passed bill. As far as our courts seem to be concerned, gun control is entirely within the right of the government, however they see fit, as long as it’s passed in parliament.
They also have record of exactly which serials were transferred with the exemptions, so it’s not hard for them to enforce only on those handguns.
It’s not that hard to keep the exemption anyways, just compete once or twice a year. Not saying it should be this way, but just saying that what we want is very different from what the reality is.
1
u/Vintage_Pieces_10 2d ago
In which case I’d contact BCTSA who would be ready for it to get continual letters. That said, this system has been in place here since early 2023, and is outlined on BCTSA’s website as BC’s compromise with the CFO for handgun exemptions. While you’re right, a new CFO may enter the scene and shake the rules up, I don’t see that happening in the close future
2
u/BonaFideDueDiligence 2d ago
Thank you! Your post actually inspired me to make this. There seemed to be a sudden influx of newly exempted people, or at least people showing it's possible, so I gathered up the material I'd amassed over a couple of months and condensed it into one place.
The lack of an annual letter is interesting though. I don't quite understand how that squares with the law, since the wording seems pretty clear on it. Do you mean you only needed one letter for that one transaction? Because that would actually be normal since the annual letter isn't to keep the handgun, it's only needed to keep acquiring more after that one. So the "annually" only bites if you want to keep acquiring the next year. One letter for one transfer, then never buying again, lines up fine with the text.
1
u/Vintage_Pieces_10 2d ago
Although we’ve talked since this comment in DM’s, I’ll say here as well that I’m glad my post inspired similar content!
I read the “annually lettered” part about a year ago too. However, since doing my first transfer (and now onto my second), I’ve only needed to provide to the CFO the basic signed document from BCTSA once, with no requirement for a follow up in the future. I basically plan on filing for exemptions in the next year anyways to have a few competition pistols on hand, since I knew someone that transferred only one pistol before the ban, and regrets not transferring two since his kicked the bucket and he can’t get a replacement
1
u/AdeptArt 2d ago
If you don't mind sharing, I'm a little curious how a pistol can kick the bucket in a way that can't be repaired in just 3 years (assuming he got it around when C21 came into force). As long as it wasn't lost in a fire or somehow completely destroyed you should be able to rebuild from the frame, right?
1
u/Vintage_Pieces_10 2d ago
Sorry I should’ve been more specific, I see where I worded it wonky. He’s had the pistol a few years, bought a Taurus magnum, but it was still the only pistol he bought before the bans. For some reason or another (my guess is mistimed having seen similar problems), the forcing cone cracked, rendering it unsafe to fire. Here in this part of BC, there’s not a single gunsmith that works on pistols so he’s SOL at this time.
PS: although this doesn’t sound like a good endorsement for Taurus, I actually personally don’t mind their products, and have actually filed for a Taurus .22/.22WMR as my next exemption. He could’ve just got a lemon, as like Turkish shotguns, Taurus seems to be a gamble
1
u/Curious_Joe2020 2d ago
Exactly and the reason is because the exemption letter is only for the registration and transfer for legislation purposes. The RPAL is for the possession and once legally registered, transferred and owned it's the RPAL which maintains the possession for license purposes. Remember boomers have lots of handguns and no one is asking them every year what they are doing or to provide letters.
2
u/mwmwmwmwmmdw 2d ago
yea i think this sub forgets sometimes there is 1.1 million handguns registered in private hands and most of those people still own and use them since 2022. i think the subs more active users tend to be newer pal holders

u/Curious_Joe2020 2d ago
British Columbia — BCTSA:
1. Email form request intent to train/practice,
2. Get Exemption Letter 1 week later,
3. Order Handgun,
4. Send Exemption letter via email when requested by CFO/RCMP,
5. Receive handgun in the mail.

u/Barbarian_818 2d ago
I suppose technically the other way would be to be issued an authorization to carry. But it's my understanding that the Firearms Program is cutting back hard on the wilderness carry permits.
And if course, it continues to refuse to issue self defence carry permits at all.

u/number75 2d ago
Step 10 seems to vary province to province, based on how busy the CFO of that province is and their own internal policies. It seems to take about 10 business days to process and issue a transfer for a handgun in BC, which is what I experienced. However, this may change as people become more aware of the ways to get an exemption.

This is hardly a loop hole, especially in provinces where you need to train before acquiring a handgun, it's pretty much a catch-22.

u/BonaFideDueDiligence 2d ago
It’s just not a loophole. These people act like the legislators weren’t aware of the exemptions they themselves wrote into law. They had to think through the implications and ramifications of carving out that exemption before it went into the regulations and then the statute. It’s a deliberate policy choice, not something slipped past anyone.

u/Hot_Cheesecake_905 2d ago
It’s a deliberate policy choice, not something slipped past anyone.
Right, lawmakers can say "Olympians can acquire handguns to train if they really want to," but the reality is that it's just lip service.
The process is extremely difficult for new shooters and effectively locks out new blood from ISSF target shooting.
At least BC is sensible enough to allow people to acquire a training gun - other provinces, not so much.
Not to mention these rules have killed off non-Olympic handgun sports like IPSC, IDPA, and others - leaving the community mostly made up of the same aging shooters.

u/BonaFideDueDiligence 2d ago
Totally get you. It's difficult for new people, no doubt, but not impossible, and that distinction matters. I'll do what I can to get folks into the sport while they still can. Currently, nothing concrete indicates to a potential removal of the exemptions. On top of that, it seems like the current SFC admin is starting to relax the proof requirements a bit. I just learned about a potential air pistol avenue with a quicker turnaround. I'll dig into it and update the post when I know more.

u/External_Big_2982 2d ago
Air pistol loophole? You can't end there. Do tell
1
u/BonaFideDueDiligence 2d ago
Someone recently described getting exempted using an air pistol for their training documentation instead of a borrowed .22. Once a week for about 2 months, they photographed their best 5-shot groupings of the day, signed and dated at the range, and submitted that as their training data. They self-signed rather than getting a range officer signature, and still got through. They had pictures of their exempted handgun, so at least something tangible.
Big caveat though: someone else said they'd spoken with the SFC not long before and were specifically told live fire was required.
1
u/edyuster 2d ago
The requirement was to train in an ISSF handgun discipline. Air pistol is considered a handgun discipline.
Live fire doesn't mean you need to shoot ammunition with gun powder. Air pistols firing pellets is still considered live fire.

u/Agreeable_Store_3896 2d ago
Loopholes can still be legal though. The concept of a loophole is to bypass or disregard the spirit of a law concept through technical manipulation or use of another law that wasn't considered at the time.
The spirit of the liberals BS bill is no handgun sales. I don't think they intended or imagined 20,000 new Olympic shooters who attend one match a year each buying 3 new handguns when they created either bill lol.
No different than if a police force in rural Alberta started hiring 'remote contract reserve officers only paid upon hours worked' or something for their policeforce enabling you to buy a service pistol and then hired a couple thousand Albertans.
2
u/BonaFideDueDiligence 2d ago
Well, Parliament turned its mind to it directly and wrote the carve-out in express terms. That's the operative provision doing exactly what it says.
The legislature knows the law, or at least ought to know it, and to intend the consequences of its own words. If they'd wanted to restrict the exemption further, they knew how to write that in and didn't. That absence reads as a choice, not an oversight. Furthermore, no need to appeal to "spirit" where the text is not ambiguous. Using an express statutory exception as written is complying with the law, not circumventing it.
The exemption is purpose-built, and ISSF training/competing is the exact activity it contemplates. If 20,000 people use it as drafted, that's foreseeable lawful uptake, not abuse. If the numbers become a problem, the fix is not calling clear words a loophole after the fact. But I'm not blind to bad faith attempts by bad actors, so better use it while you're allowed to.
5
u/Agreeable_Store_3896 2d ago
Sure man, I agree with what you're doing, because it's your legal right and all, but from the outside looking in, and how the liberals will view it will strictly be in the lense of abuse of a loophole lol.
No offence but these kind of posts give me flashbacks to working in the oilfield, which was a great experience and paid very well and treated me well.. but many of my coworkers would pretend and argue until they're blue in the face about how fossil fuels aren't actually bad for the environment and how by extracting it from the earth we were actually cleaning up the place and that there was absolutely no downsides to mass industrialization. They would visably get upset and angry that you're even implying that what they did was bad for the environment.
But I'm more of the stance that.. use it while you got it.. but no need to live in la la land pretending this is what they intended lol. If the uptake in this gets to a certain point, the law is going to change within the year with some hurdle to achieve that the average person won't be capable of or so many small hurdles it won't be worth it.
All it will take is the very first CBC article "Olympic shooter trainers increased 2350% in last year, number of legal handgun ownerships increases 50% despite total ban"

Not a loophole. It's a carved-out exemption written into law, not a gap someone found. It’s been in effect since October 21, 2022, and was later codified directly into the Firearms Act when Bill C-21 got royal assent on December 15, 2023. Simple access to information about your rights shouldn’t be gatekept.

u/Vintage_Pieces_10 2d ago
I made a post of my own about acquiring my first exempted handgun the other day, and DM’d anybody who wished for a write up, so I agree that information shouldn’t be gatekept. However, PolySeSouvient did say a year or two ago “we will work to close the Olympic Handgun Loophole,” so IT IS on their radar of policy to push, even if it’s a slow burn right now

That said the current admin will see this and interpret and spin it as a loophole. They are already doing this with the trapper exemptions.

u/BonaFideDueDiligence 2d ago
Totally possible, and I'm not denying that. We're at the mercy of their hands either way. This admin can frame anything however it suits them, exemption or not. But that doesn't change the reality on the ground. The exemption exists right now, it's valid, and it was written specifically so people could use it. Best we can do is use every tool at our disposal while we still have it. So yeah, you can, and honestly you should, use the exemption. That's what it's there for.

u/Reelair 2d ago
Crown land is for everyone to enjoy, it's written somewhere, I'm sure.
That didn't stop them from putting up a gate and locking me out of the land I've been exploring, paddling, ATV'ing, hunting, fishing and hiking on for over 30 years due to social media advertising the area. Within 2 years it was closed off to anyone who can't afford land behind the gate.
Sometimes it's best to let things stay quiet. IYKYK as the cool kids say.

u/Dill_Pickle_Tears 2d ago
One thing that would be interesting to hear from others would be what pistols “meet ISSF pistol requirements” and how the SFC vs. BCTSA would interpret this.
I’ve read the 2026 regulations and technically a glock 44 fits the requirements (fits within “the box” dimensions, doesn’t fall below minimum trigger weight, does not exceed weight limits, and does not violate their new grip requirements).
Really, I’d be interested to know if they need your ideal model to meet requirements (not be illegal) or be reasonably suitable? A glock 44 and Ruger mark 4 both meet ISSF standards, but one is far more suitable for ISSF disciplines.
Granted I’m sure they just want shooters in the sport - meaning they probably don’t care whether you’re looking to get into the sport with a tx22 (>$1k when importing) or a Pardini sp ($6k) since costs can be high for fancy dedicated target pistols.
3
u/BonaFideDueDiligence 2d ago
From their communications, the standard is simply that the handgun must meet the requirements as laid out in the ISSF Rule Book 2026. Nothing more, nothing less. So any restricted handgun that meets those specs is fair game. They don't care whether you want a Glock or a Ruger, as long as it conforms. It doesn't have to be the "ideal" Olympic target pistol, just a compliant one.
That said, while that's the stated position, some people have reported getting open-ended exemptions for any .22 LR, and in those cases whether the gun actually had to meet ISSF specs is up in the air. No clear answer on whether the requirements were enforced there or not.
On the Glock 44 specifically, you'd have to track down a Canadian model. The original 44 has a 102mm barrel, which makes it prohibited, whereas the Canadian version has a 106mm barrel that keeps it restricted. After all this time I'd be surprised if you could still find one in Canada, and you're unlikely to find one in the US to import either. So technically compliant on paper, practically a unicorn.
1
u/Dill_Pickle_Tears 20h ago
Yes this was my understanding as well! And it should be that way, since dedicated target pistols can be so expensive and hard to acquire.
The only thing I was weary of was what the SFC specifies in the letter itself (since I’m only in the process and not through it) and how the CFOs outside of BC/AB go about approving the registrations/transfers given approvals for these things can be up to individual discretion. That said, your write up and many people’s experiences suggest the process is relatively smooth

By annually providing an exemption letter? Is this really true? I call BS on that. The letter is to purchase and transfer and import. Who is going to follow up after annually after you already have several guns and what are they going to do? The RPAL is what maintains the license to possess. The letter is for acquisition transfer registration. So if you have 3 guns are you saying you have to provide 3 letters each year or what? They send the RCMP to collect 3 guns that were legally acquired and licensed, I don't think so. Meanwhile boomers keep whatever they had forever no questions asked? I don't think so.
What do you mean by "must meet ISSF/Olympic pistol standards?". Does a Glock or 1911 or FN502 meet those standards?
4
u/BonaFideDueDiligence 2d ago
As the post says, "It is not required to keep a handgun you already have a registration certificate for." That's your exact scenario. The "annually" only matters if you want to keep acquiring. Stop buying, and you never need another letter. The annual letter gates acquisition/transfer/import. Rumor has it s. 97.1(b) of the Firearms Act is worth a read.
The 3 handguns limit doesn't mean you're capped at owning 3 handguns. It means you can hold exemptions for 3 makes/models at a time for the purpose of acquiring. So you could have exemptions active for, say, a Ruger Mark IV, a Pardini SP, and a Walther GSP.
If you then wanted a 4th make/model, say a Benelli, you'd have to forfeit one of your three existing exemption slots to open room for it. You don't lose any handgun you've already acquired and registered (that's yours to keep regardless); you just give up the ability to acquire one of those original three going forward, in exchange for the ability to acquire the new one.
So it's a rolling limit on active acquisition exemptions, not a limit on how many guns you can own. Buy as many as you want within your active slots, and swap a slot out whenever you want to chase a different model.
