I received a gun last Christmas from my now ex. He kept the gun in his possession after I left. 6 months later he has advised I may get my gun when I take the PAL course (was going to anyway) and he will "sign it". What exactly does he need to sign? I'm not buying the gun. He purchased it with his brother (who has his PAL - my husband has a hunting license and now defunct POL) but the receipt was put in my husband's name. Not sure any of this means anything but I'm curious what he needs to sign. Thanks in advance.

Maybe he wants you to sign some kind of bill of sale? POL's are no longer defunct thanks to Bill C-42. As long as the firearm is non restricted and you get your PAL in the mail after your course you have no problem picking it up without signing anything.

When you take the "PAL course" to get your PAL, the application process includes asking any ex-spouse or SO if there is any reason why a PAL should not be issued. This is in a letter sent to the ex/SO. I don't believe the actual application needs a signature from anyone but the applicant.
They will also ask for a reference, also.
When you have your PAL in hand, you can take possession of the rifle, but I bet your ex will want to have a letter saying you received it.

When you fill out your PAL application you will see where you are going to need the agreement of your significant other of the previous two years.
This is a good warning to all of us to keep on good terms with those who are (or were) close to us.
Thanks guys. At this point he's playing nice. Better get to that course asap. He had the gun along with his own moved to a third party location when I left. Said it was better they were not in the home. I'm sure he will create hoops to jump to get it but I'll do it.
Yes, but she will not receive her PAL unless he signs the application, which he has indicated he will. He is just complying with the law by retaining possession of the firearm until she is legally able to own it, despite it being gifted. Being in possession of a firearm without a valid PAL is a criminal offence.
The hoops that have to be jumped through are not of his making.
