Is it a rifle or handgun? Rifles don't need to be registered (unless she lives in QC). If it's a handgun talk to a lawyer because it's a serious crime to have an unregistered handgun (full stop, don't keep reading or talking about it).

Does her dad have a pal? If yes he should just legally transfer it.

If he doesn't, Did she get her pal before or after may 18 of 2022? If before she could have taken possession before May 18th and there's no paper trail. If after then someone broke the law by giving her the gun without getting a transfer number... Not sure if she did by receiving it.

What? Unless you're in QC there is no registering NR firearms.

She got it before the registry started so no worries 😉

My understanding is it doesn’t need to be registered. It’s non restricted.

Depends when she got the PAL. Before May 18th, or after? I mean no one would ever know, minus who you told here. Just keep it hush hush and literally no one would ever even bother to run the firearm and check the reg. Especially on an old farm .22, it's not like it's a popular Black Assault Rifle designed to kill as many as possible in the shortest amout of time, no one would question it.
