    Not if you have a PAL in BC.

    In most cases, you must apply to the Registrar of Security Services for permission to possess body armour. You will be asked to demonstrate your need for the armour and you will be required to undergo criminal record, police information, and correctional service information checks.

    There are, however, circumstances when you may possess body armour without a permit.

    Legal Possession without a Permit

    You can possess body armour without a permit while performing your job if you are a:

    Private investigator, armoured car guard, security consultant; security guard, or body armour salesperson with a valid B.C. security worker licence
    Peace officer, sheriff, correctional officer or conservation officer
    Government employee and wearing armour is required or allowed in your job
    Security guard registered as a gaming worker under the Gaming Control Act
    You may also possess body armour without a permit if you hold a valid firearms licence issued under the Firearms Act (Canada).

    No you do not need a pal in Ontario to purchase. However, I am also very curious of if any potential issue at customs and quality/warranty...

    Anyone in Canada can vouch on quality and any custom issues?

    You are wrong. PAL is required.
