Important Information About Firearms Training

Don’t be misled by companies posing as qualified instructors. Always request to see their ON# issued by the Chief Firearms Officer, which you can verify at www.fseso.org.

Certified Firearms Instructors.ca administers the Canadian Firearms Safety Courses (CFSC), Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Courses (CRFSC), and the exams for both courses, in accordance with the legal requirements set by the RCMP.

In most provinces, passing the Canadian Firearms Safety Course exam(s) is necessary to obtain a Possession and Acquisition License.

If you are pursuing this training as a requirement for pre-employment with CBSA, you must successfully complete both courses, but obtaining your own firearms license is not necessary.

Typically, you will first need to be tested by a certified instructor for the Canadian Firearms Safety Course. After passing the test, you will complete a license application and submit it to the Canadian Firearms Centre. You should expect to receive your license within 6-8 months.

For any inquiries, feel free to reach out.
