Default Moving with resticted weapons

Anyone have experience with this? Planning a move across Canada and bringing my hand guns along. Leave them with the movers? bring along on the drive? Register with gun range at destination before move or a grace period? Any help is appreciated, thanks guys.

They will issue ATT
Conditions are not different than going to the range except you go across Canada.
Have them update your address and you are laughing.

Easy
Peasy

Pretty sure ATTs are a condition attached to your RPAL. You shouldn’t need an ATT from what I understand.

Nope I live on the Sask side of Lloyd I had to get an ATT to drop off a gun at Prophet river on the Alberta side because your RPAL is only good in your province.

I can take a gun to a smith in Regina 500 kms. away but I need an ATT to cross the street, common sense gun laws.

Always phone to be sure

It's the address change they are interested in, just in case, you know, your town floods and you "have to evacuate"

Default Its very confusing

Here's how it reads

Transporting and using prohibited firearms or restricted firearms
19*(1)*An individual who holds a licence authorizing the individual to possess prohibited firearms or restricted firearms may be authorized to transport a particular prohibited firearm or restricted firearm between two or more specified places for any good and sufficient reason, including, without restricting the generality of the foregoing,
(a)*for use in target practice, or a target shooting competition, under specified conditions or under the auspices of a shooting club or shooting range that is approved under section 29;
(a.1)*to provide instructions in the use of firearms as part of a restricted firearms safety course that is approved by the federal Minister; or
(b)*if the individual
(i)*changes residence,
(ii)*wishes to transport the firearm to a peace officer, firearms officer or chief firearms officer for registration or disposal in accordance with this Act or Part III of the Criminal Code,
(iii)*wishes to transport the firearm for repair, storage, sale, exportation or appraisal, or
(iv)*wishes to transport the firearm to a gun show.
Marginal note:
Target practice or competition
(1.1)*In the case of an authorization to transport issued for a reason referred to in paragraph (1)(a) within the province where the holder of the authorization resides, the specified places must include all shooting clubs and shooting ranges that are approved under section 29 and that are located in that province.

The CFO reads it as needing an ATT when crossing Provincial boundary's

Do not leave them with the movers. Experience (not mine) has shown that handguns left with the movers have been known to go missing (stolen).

The LTATT is part of your RPAL. That covers trips to ranges and gun smiths. You require a Short Term ATT to transport it from your old house to your new house. Just phone them, tell them the Date(s) you will be transporting the firearms and they will email you. Had to move my Dad last year.

Mulehahn has the good advice right there. I just moved to a new place, although not as far as you, called the CFO a couple weeks ahead of time. They updated my address and emailed me a Short Term ATT for the moving day to bring firearms from the old house to the new one.
