    I did both of my non-restricted and restricted courses back to back on a weekend. Received two copies of the application back from CFO to submit to RCMP. I sent them both in together (Both for NR and R classes), along with the $80 and received my PAL 6 weeks later with no issues or delays.

    Renewing a license is a separate process than applying for a new one. By adding R to your existing PAL, the CFP will treat this as a new license. When issued, it should be good for five years, meaning your PAL SHOULD automatically update with it. There is only one license, and there is only one expiry.

    Worst case scenario, you add the R to your PAL, and it expires in January, at which point you need to renew, but at least then you will be renewing the full RPAL.

    But I expect that because you are already in the renewal zone, they should just give you a new license with RPAL good for five years.

    The RCMP firearm website will tell you. It's super easy to do online.

    Renewing your PAL (Possession and Acquisition Licence) involves a few steps. First, make sure to complete and submit the renewal application form (RCMP 5614/5615) either online or by mail**Image and video linking functions will be enabled after you have contributed more to the forum** Don't forget to include the required fee and a recent photo if needed.
