    Nit-Picky information on PAL application (need some help) UPDATE

    Currently filling out my application and I just want to make sure that I fill out some parts 100% correctly because I don't want to wait a million years with issues at Miramichi.

    Took my NR test on January 25, Took my R test today (April 14).

    I have Previously had a Minors FAC. Issued in 1998, so it expired ages ago. The very first question on the application is: Select the type of license you possess, check only one:

    And the 3 options, all of which apply to me are:

    - I have never had a firearms licence.

    - I have an expired firearms license. Please provide the Licence #

    - I have a minor's Licence and I request a different Licence. Please provide the licence #

    I'm leaning toward the first one being the one I should mark down, since there is no, "I have an expired minors licence" choice. I have no idea what my original FAC number was and I don't have the card. I wanna make sure I don't mess this up.

    I'm in a hurry to get this off because the ID I used on the form for my NR test expires in June, I was originally going to renew it (Security Licence) but I have a different job now so I dont' plan on bothering. So I don't think I can afford any paperwork mistakes... that is assuming they even know it will expire, it doesn't ask for an expiry date.

    If I have any more questions I'll post them.

    Hmm, technically number two is the one to choose but if you don't remember the license number that complicates things. I would say to call in and someone at the CFC should be able to give you a proper answer.

    UPDATE: Called CFC. they said that if you held a minors licence, it doesn't count. So my answer is supposed to be "I've never had a licence"
