Temporary licences issued to meet demand
To comply with the Firearms Act requirement for firearm owners to have a
licence as of January 1, 2001, Canadians sent in their licence applications
in record numbers. To meet this demand, temporary licences are being issued
to eligible firearm owners.
Public safety remains the cornerstone of the firearms program.
Temporary licences are only being issued to those who are successfully screened
against Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) databases. And, like all
other firearm licence holders, those with temporary firearms licences will
be continuously screened against police databases.
These public safety checks conform to the Firearms Act and keep
firearms away from those who should not have them.
Temporary licence holders are not permitted to acquire firearms. However,
they will be in legal possession of their firearms and they will be able to get
ammunition. Temporary licences are only valid until June 30, 2001 or until
those eligible receive their five-year licence.

Grace period introduced
Firearm owners who applied for their licence before the deadline will not be penalized if they
did not receive their licence by January 1, 2001.
This grace period will last until June 30, 2001. It only protects people who applied for a licence
before January 1, 2001. Firearm owners and users who did not apply for a licence or who don't
have a valid Firearms Acquisition Certificate (FAC) may
be subject to penalties under the Criminal Code.
