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.

A is correct. B is N/A unless you've specifically taken training offered by the CFO.

I sent mine in a few weeks ago and they sent it back. I didn't realize I was supposed to sign the back of one of my London Drugs photos, so they sent me another handy form to fill out to correct for that. I thought I had crossed all of my T's and dotted all of my I's but I still missed that part. Don't forget to read everything!
