    Too late to take RPAL because it has been more than 30 days? (Toronto)

    I took a PAL class and completed back in late april. When I went back to the website of the gun course it says I can only apply for an RPAL class if I did the last one within the last 30 days. It shows I require a PAL license to take a RPAL class after that time period.

    Did I mess up?

    You have to do a full RPAL course as opposed to an expedited one if it's not within 30 days.

    When I took mine, they defined the terms as less than thirty days, you could take the short (6hrs) RPAL course, over 30 days, full length RPAL course. (Edmonton, Alberta)

    Depending on where you took your PAL, perhaps they have you on file or remember you? otherwise, you may have to wait. Call them, or drop by, if it is convenient, to find out for certain.

    If you have your copies of your PAL submission, bring that with you to try and sign up for RPAL.

    They can't say no, unless you at least ask.
    Are you taking over, or are you taking orders?

    If you can prove you took your PAL course (copy of your test results) you can take your RPAL. If you can't prove it you're SOL and will have to wait until your PAL comes back.
    If it has been more than 7 days (not 30) you have to take the longer course.

    I miss the old days when you can just challenge the exams.

    I'm so glad I challenged mine, that was 7 years ago now, pretty sure I was 20. Is the course mandatory now?
