Handgun transfers have been threatened by our prime minister and may be stopped at any time, you may have to wait for a change in government.

I know they were threatened but wasn’t sure if you can’t get the license still or not.

Right now you can get an rPAL and buy a handgun, next week not so sure. Trudeau jr has been systematically harrassing licensed gun owners because he can't imagine how to enforce existing gun laws.
