Application / Regulation advice Exemption in Nova scotia

Can anyone help me to understand how can I qualify for it in NS? I can see other provinces are having this

I have restricted license and want to have 22lr handgun for target shooting. I have gun club membership. Do I need to get black badge course?

That's for IPSC and not how you get an exemption letter.

You will need to get an exemption letter from the SFC. To do this you'll need to demonstrate that you're training or competing in ISSF pistol disciplines. This can be 10m air gun, or you can borrow a pistol and shoot 25m matches if there are any in your area.
