Canadian Firearms Safety Course - help?

[Canuck]

Guys, I neglected to renew my Firearms License a few years back and unfortunately my firearms safety course 45 or so years ago is no longer recognized, so the RCMP have told me I need to take the CFAC before my licence will be approved.  A bit of a pain, but I understand the reasoning - I guess.

Problem is that the CFAC courses were all shut down for COVID and there is an enormous backlog and its been hard to find a course with an opening anywhere near home (Oakville ) or our cottage (Penetang).  If any of you know anyone that is accredited to teach the CFAC, can you help me out?  The RCMP told me that they can extend the deadline for my application expiring given the COVID issues, but I want to get this done ASAP.

Thanks

Pretty mind boggling.. considering they flowed anyone with a possession only licence, that was "holding dads old gun", into a Possession and Acquisition licence and I can buy what ever I want now!

I agree. Don't let your Possession and Acquisition licence go un-renewed.  If you do, you have to start over with a full RCMP application, and take the CFAC course again.

You can challenge both exams, you don't have to sit through the entire course.   If you think you can pass, then challenge it, if you fail you'll realize you probably needed the course after all.

This is not true anymore. It hasn't been true since 2015.
