Default Expired PAL

Unfortunately during the move I failed to update my information on the GCkey site for online renewal so I never received my 90 day notice. Regardless a buddy at work was renewing his and it reminded me to check mine. When I checked my PAL had expired 2 days ago. Looking at the forms I need to provide proof of passing the Canadian Firearms Safety Course. My question is whether I need to contact the CFO or is my expired PAL number proof of completion?


Shame on me...

I had mine expire as well and had to complete the full application. I just provided my previous PAL number and all was good. I got mine back in about three months.

I had the same thing happen. So I called and they said you have to re apply and where it says proof of passing they just told me to write already on file and there was no problems at all.

Mine expired in May of last year, I was not aware of it until November 1. I sent in my renewal in December, still waiting!

I think I have called at least 20 times!

What me off is that I have been hunting since I was 5, had my hunters safety certificate since I was 9, I am 54 with no criminal record not even a DUI, so why the hold up??? Stupid system if you ask me!

Right on.

I was talking to a freind of mine recently. She had hers expire and thought she had to redo everything. Hers expired a few months ago though..

This thread is very timely.
