Cost to upgrade from PAL to RPAL in 2018

Hi guys

I searched up this topic on the forums and found some threads from 5-10 years ago, but was wondering what the deal is today. If someone already paid the $60 to get their PAL and has the license, how much more will it cost to get their RPAL issued (not including the course costs). Is it $20 extra (to make $80), or is it $80 more (totaling $140)? Do we just resend the same form along with the other needed RPAL documents? 5614e right?

Thanks

You have to pay the full fee again like it is your first time applying....I went through the same thing 5 years ago...so 140 and you get a new 5 year lic ( this applies for waiting more than 1 year after receiving your PAL)

Thanks!

Also, sorry to post again, but instead of making a new thread, does anyone know if the law 9 course is mandatory to own a handgun? I just did my regular safety course, and was thinking about doing my restricted course as well, but will not have time this year to do the law 9 course. Would I be able able to get my RPAL by just taking those two courses and not the law 9 for now? If so, that would mean I can not legally own a handgun, or if I could, I can not legally transport it back to my house, is that correct?

Hi, I upgraded mine within a year of getting my PAL, and it only cost me an extra $40

Yes i renewed my PAL and the less than a year later i took my RPAL. RCMP said fee was only $40 due to renewal being less than a year.

If it has been less than a year since you got your PAL it will be $20. If it has been more than that it will be the full $80.

Just did my rpal this weekend and the instructor was saying its the full $80.00 to send in for the rpal if you have already sent in your pal

I've never heard of such a course... I'm guessing you're I n Quebec?

You can’t have restricted without your law 9 and club membership
