POL Renewal

[majorca]

I did a search and couldn't find what I needed.
My father has a POL (Possession only licence) that expires in 2012. Can he renew this or does he have to take the PAL course and get a whole new licence.

Thanks in advance for you help.

From the CFC:

Q. Is the Possession-Only Licence (POL) still available?

The POL was only available to firearm owners aged 18 and older who applied before January 1, 2001. Individuals who have a POL may renew it if they have at least one firearm registered in their name and they apply before their licence expires. Otherwise, only the Possession and Acquisition Licence is available.

So as long as he has a firearm registered he can simply renew his license.
