Coming Into Force  September - ATT Condition Of Licence - POL Become PAL

Effective September 2, 2015, these changes to the Firearms Act will come into force:

The elimination of the Possession Only Licence (POL) and conversion of all existing POLs to Possession and Acquisition Licences (PALs); and

The Authorization to Transport (ATT) becoming a condition of a licence for certain routine and lawful activities.

Quick Facts:

Authorizations to Transport are not required for non-restricted firearms.

These two additional provisions are now added to the ones that came into force last June under the Firearms Act and the Criminal Code to do the following:

Make classroom participation in firearms safety courses mandatory for first-time licence applicants;

Clarify that the discretionary authority of Chief Firearms Officers is subject to the regulations;

Strengthen the Criminal Code provisions relating to orders prohibiting the possession of firearms where a person is convicted of an offence involving domestic violence; and

Provide the Governor in Council with the authority to prescribe firearms to be non-restricted or restricted (such prescribing would be informed by independent expert advice).
