Application / Regulation advice RPAL upgrade/application question.

Post image

I got my PAL ~20 years ago and only now decided to upgrade to get the Restricted license. I finished the Restricted course and had a question regarding section G of the application. My instructor told me I could likely just leave Section G 20. A and C blank. I’m not sure if that’s the correct advice.

A) have you passed the Canadian Forearms Safety Course? Yes, No, year, proof.

B) have you been certified by the Chief Forearms Officer…? Yes, No, proof

Forgive my ignorance, but can I leave these blank and submit my new R application? Or will it be declined?

I don’t have any documentation for either of these.

Thanks for any feedback that can help me sorry this out.

You should at least check yes for whatever course you did 20 years ago, they keep all test results on file and should be able to match your request with what they have in their record.

This is what I did last year and it went through without any problems.

So checking yes without providing proof wasn’t an issue? Thanks!

If you call them they’ll have your course and the date on file to fill it in.
