Does that question answer itself ?
Now that various self-appointed guardians of your conscience have told you what to do with your warrants, here's what I could find that seemed relevant on the RCMP site: http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/facts-faits/index-eng.htm
You're the only one to know the full details of your personal history. You might try contacting in writing the BC CFO to ask him about getting a PAL? Best case, he says "no problem" (get that in writing or it didn't happen!). Worse case, he says "no way" and you saved yourself the cost of the CFSC. Another option is have a lawyer that knows firearms regulations do this for you so you don't get the runaround treatment by some functionary in the CFO's office ("Bah, just tell him "no", Marge; it's not as if he would know better, eh?").
Good luck!
Licence Refusals and Revocations
Licensing of an individual to possess firearms requires a variety of background checks. Applicants are screened to detect potential public safety risks based on information provided with a firearms licence application. Continuous eligibility screening is conducted over the term of the licence to identify any public safety risks that may arise over time. A licence may also be revoked following a court order or a Chief Firearm Officer's investigation resulting from a call to the CFP's public safety line (1-800-731-4000).
The Registrar of Firearms is notified of all licence revocations, is responsible for revoking all associated registration certificates, and works to ensure proper disposal of the firearms. For more information on refusals and revocations, please consult the Firearms Act.
NOTE: Reasons for licence refusals or revocations include: a history of violence, mental illness, potential risk to oneself or others, unsafe firearm use and storage, drug offences, and providing false information.

An arrest warrant for unpaid parking tickets means nothing. Never heard of anybody being arrested for that though. Government usually denies licence renewals etc until you pay, but it won't affect a PAL application. Has to be parking with violence in the past 3 years to matter. However, the fine will go up if you don't pay the tax. Read this. Add the W's. .thelawcentre.ca/defending_traffic_tickets
The meds quite likely will at least delay your application. Paxil is used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety. That'll send up huge flags. A letter from your MD might help.

I can tell you from experience that psychological medications will not put you in the reject pile. I myself was on medication for PTSD and depression and was approved for a RPAL/PAL. They will ask more questions and may even require info from your doc...but not a deal breaker.
