$ 66,84

The cost of the practical exam with the rental of a 9mm weapon (mandatory) is $ 20. The cost for ammunition is $ 20 for 20 9mm cartridges. This is the maximum cost that a club or instructor may charge for the rental of a weapon and its ammunition for the practical exam.

You must provide the cash amount on the day of the training to give to your instructor.

  • Mandatory for a Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL)? Or for work?

No. However, it is mandatory if you want to join a shooting club or acquire a restricted firearm.

No. Without a valid membership to a shooting club and without an authorization to transport, you cannot transport your restricted firearm to the shooting range. If you have these two valid documents, you do not need to take the Bill 9 competency test.

  • To maintain a valid membership to a shooting club, you must :

Practice target shooting (a minimum of one time) during the year. Renew your membership card before the expiration date.

  • Under what circumstances do you need to complete the Bill 9 competency test?

You must pass the test if you want to join a shooting club and you are not yet an active member of a shooting club.

You have not renewed your shooting club membership before the expiration date.

You have not practiced target shooting at least once during the year.

The results of your training will be sent to you by the email related to your registration. No paper will be sent to you by mail.
