Submitting your PAL / RPAL application

Congratulations on Successfully completing the CFSC and/or CRFSC with Magen Academy!

What’s Next…

  1. Your instructor will complete the forms from your classes and mail them to the FSESO head office where they will be processed and your stamped Course Reports will be sent back to you in the self-addressed envelope you filled out in class.
  2. You will receive two copies of the Course Reports from the FSESO when they arrive.  One copy is to be included in the license application and the remaining is to be kept for your records.  This may take anywhere from 3-6 weeks (Patience……)
    IF after 6 weeks you still have not received your paperwork, contact us.
  3. Your stamped course completion documents from the FSESO are a required component of your PAL / RPAL license application, while they are being processed by the FSESO you can Start to fill out the RCMP Firearms License Application and then simply include the course reports when you receive them to complete and submit your application.

    CHOOSE One of the two options for how to submit your license application:
    1. PRINT & MAIL:
      Click here to download & print the application
      https://bit.ly/rcmplicenseapplication (‘RCMP form 5592e’)
      OR
    2. ONLINE:
      Start your application process online here:
      https://rcmp.ca/en/firearms/apply-firearms-licence
  4. Whether you choose Online or Mail for your method of submitting your license application,
    You will need ALL of the following items to complete and submit your license application.
    • PHOTO:  Have a photo taken and sized per the instructions. It is NOT the same size as a passport photo. (the UPS store or other photo service locations can usually assist you if needed – just tell them you are taking the photo for the purpose of your firearms license)
    • FEES: Assess the amount you will have to pay for the licence. The instructions may NOT be clear on the application. There is only one fee required (you do NOT add the non-restricted and restricted fees together)
    • IF you ONLY took the non-restricted class (PAL Only) choose that fee = $64.54 Total
    • IF you took BOTH the non-restricted and restricted classes (PAL + RPAL) = $86.06 
    • IF you ONLY took restricted class (RPAL Only) = $86.06
      These prices are Effective March 31, 2023
    • 2 PERSONAL REFERENCES: Part of your application requires providing the names and contact information for two Canadian citizens that you have known for over 2 years.
    • COURSE REPORT: Your stamped Course Reports will come in the mail from the FSESO.

Collecting all the required items to complete your license application is a great way to make use of your time while you are waiting for your Course Report paperwork to arrive.

Other valuable things to consider is to start researching your Personal Safety Gear and look into gaining confidence through experience by taking a Practical & Proficiency course where you will learn hands on use of modern day firearms and practical safety tips in a dry-fire environment.

Magen Academy is here to support your success along the way with Courses, Experiences, Resources and Guidance.
