Check the Status of your Application
How long before I can expect to receive my Firearms license / registration
certificate in the mail?
- Applications that are complete and accurate can be processed faster.
Please ensure you have the appropriate information on hand when you fill out
your application.
- Our service standards to process a complete and accurate application are:
- 45 days, including the 28-day legislated waiting period, for a licence
application.
- 30 days for a registration application.
If you have not received information concerning your application within those
time frames, please call 1 800 731-4000 and one of our client
representatives will check the reason for the delay.
- If your application is incomplete or inaccurate, it will take longer to
process. We will need to contact you to get the required information before
we can process your application.
- We know that many of our clients have experienced long wait times when
calling our 1-800 line. Therefore we have added staff to improve our service
level. We are confident that this measure, along with the information about
standard application processing times and the on-line status check feature
will help to reduce the extreme call volume that we have been receiving at
the call centre and allow us to serve you more rapidly.
