My registration certificates were revoked because my firearms licence expired. What do I need to do to comply with the law?
A. If you want to keep the firearms, you need to take immediate steps to obtain a new licence. The only licence currently available to you is the Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL). A Possession-Only Licence (POL) can be renewed only if the renewal application is submitted before the POL expires. To be able to get a PAL, you must first meet safety training requirements if you have not yet done so. To apply for a PAL, submit form CAFC 921. Once your licence has been issued, your registration certificates will be re-instated. Your other alternatives for complying with the law are to have the firearms permanently deactivated by a licensed gunsmith or to dispose of them in one of the ways set out in the amnesty order.
