    What are "standard conditions" on my RPAL?

    New shooter here. Just got my card in the mail. Card says standard conditions are attached to this license. On the piece of paper that came with the card there is nothing under "special conditions".

    What exactly are "standard conditions" & "special conditions"?
    Does this have to do with ATT?

    I keep reading conflicting info about automatic Atts.
    "It's now attached to the lic"
    "You have to wait until you make your first R purchase then they send out a new card" etc.

    I'm in ON if that matters

    You can have special conditions on your PAL, if there is nothing, or just standard conditions you have no special rules associated. I believe an example could be if someone answered yes to mental health issue on your application, CFO might follow up with their doctor and in the end they could agree to give you your PAL on the CONDITION that your firearms are stored at the range.

    Any special conditions will come with your first purchase. The standard condition is probably notify an address change with "reasonable dispatch"

    If you just got your RPAL, and have no R firearms yet, there is no reason to have transport conditions. It is only when you buy your first R that they will identify what conditions will apply

    I only got mine in February and had the same question. No conditions when I first got the card ..... bought a handgun and an AR .... got a new card with conditions listed

    I got my new RPAL in March 2023 - it now reads "standard and transportation conditions are attached to this license" - whereas the old RPAL read "standard conditions are attached to this license". Along with the old RPAL expiry, the paper ATT expired. I honestly can't recall if a new paper long-term ATT was issued. I was going to the range with a restricted and decided not to go as I can't find a new paper long-term ATT anywhere. If I had one, it would be in the range bag with the registration.

    Were new paper long-term ATTs issued in AB for licenses renewed in 2023? I hope I haven't spent the morning searching for something that does not exist!

    There is no reason to have travel conditions if you recently received your RPAL and have no R weapons. They will not know what conditions will apply until you purchase your first R.
