Fellows, I wrote this to an Ottawa lawyer today after attending the Montreal gun show today. Looking for opinions. Thanks.

Dear Mr. F,

Back mid November 2013 I put in my application for my PAL and RPAL.

I have no criminal record nor have ever been arrested for anything. My record is perfectly clean.

So, my application was all approved by the RCMP before Christmas and is now in the hands of the Quebec CFO (SQ).

Again, I have no outstanding tickets nor warrants or complaints against me. My wife OK'd my application and co-signed it.

Today was a gun show on the south shore of montreal. The SQ takes a table there for information. So I asked them now that they have my application for final approval, about how long it takes? They told me about 45 days depending on my background check, which is clean. They did ask me if I had any warrants or even outstanding tickets, which is no. Why would an outstanding ticket (non DUI) hold back an RPAL?

However, does this apply to business as well? I own a small graphics company and the company owes the Qc government about $3000 in deductions at source payments, according to them. My father looked after the finances until his passing summer 2011, and according to his records and bank statements it was all paid. Current DAS payments, both federal and provincial are up to date.

Could the Qc CFO delay or refuse my RPAL for a company issue? It is a federally incorporated company.

Any help or opinion would be helpful.

Thanks
 
My PAL and RPAL took 67 days, some people wait way longer with clean records.... I highly doubt 3000 would cause a denial.
 
Also, an incorporated business is a body politic- like a person. So I'm pretty sure a business issue and a personal application have nothing to do with each other. I think the clerk was referring to outstanding warrants. She even mentioned traffic tickets. So, if you made that illegal left turn and forgot to pay the ticket, this makes you canada's most wanted? Holiday backlog sounds like it. Thanks.

I don't think it would refuse, my story is worst than you. I'm currently holding RPAL with a few restricted pistols.

I was a student at a private college, I used to be an active airsoft shooter. We went to play game like paintball game on weekend so we took a few photos with me and other friend post on our facebook's wall, most of the photos are group photo, some are only me and such.

Short story, my school director happen to see my timeline on my facebook page, she called the cops on me right away after she met and discuss with me. Anyway, two female ###y Quebecor detective come to my work place escort me to cafeteria, told me the story and asked a few simple question but I refuse to answer any since I told them I wanted to see my lawyer first. We end the conversation there.

Once I got back home, the same female detective got warrant, come to my apartment. They found nothing beside a few airsoft gun and such. So my lawyer present and such. At the end, I didn't get charged and they were very sorry for my door since it was kicked in by Montreal swat team. No biggie, I was ok and just end like that.

A month later, It's very unfortunate again, I went to shop at an electric store and bough a roll of 16 guage wire to work my airsoft project. I placed them on my computer lab at school. An hour later a friend of mine who is a security guard, escort me to upstair whereas 5 SQ ( quebec police ) were waiting for me. I was question about my wire and got searched without warrant since they believe I was danger to public security and I was also at school ground. Anyway, no charged was laid, they told me that they were looking for a guy who using school internet looking for bomb ingredient and such.

Anyway, I'm not even a permanent resident nor Canadian citizen, I have PAL and RPAL, my RPAL was received when my status in Canada is invalid since my working permit was expired.

I think, you should be fine.
 
Thanks for all the replies. I guess I just need patience that's all. As for KND's story, that is absolutely crazy the way you were treated. Mind you, at the Longueuil gun show this weekend, the only thing tactical was the airsoft group. And those airsoft rifles are damnded close to the real thing, the look, the feel, the weight - definitely not toys, and could easily be mistaken for the real thing by Montreal's finest at a fast glance.

I'm in no big hurry. Right now, next big "expense" is RRSP. So no big cash for my JR Carbine. :)

However, I am an electrical engineer, and I went to Dawson college back in the 80's for the electro-tech program. We had all kinds of wire, electronic parts, building tools etc all over the place. Does that mean the SQ goes to every technical school to check what's going on? Seems a little rediculous to me.

Anyway, I hope your issues are solved. Thanks.

PS - gonna remove all my facebook pics - just in case they don't like my dog or something.

Wow man, they got a search warrant on you because you had an RPAL and a couple of pictures with airsoft on facebook and even broke your door? Unbelievable, the crime rate is so low here that there's wasting their time attacking everyone to justify their job.

Agreed, regular police force are just government tax collectors now, (ticket givers) and good ones too, finding unbelievable spots to hide LOL. At least those found a new purpose "ninja ticket police" LOL
 
None of those issue should have anything to do with it. You're dealing with civil servants, who do whatever they feel like doing, when they feel like doing it. You just have to wait. You a club member?
 
Not a club member, yet. Why join a club if I don't have a licence? besides, I intend to go non-restricted to start. Probably a JR Carbine in 9mm. The outdoor ranges (Pioneer and Ruisseau Noir) you can pay by the visit, don't really need a full "membership". When and if I go restricted, I will probably join the Lachine club. A couple of my buddies go there, - its OK.
