Performance monitoring mechanisms have been established using the RCMP's Annual Performance Plan tool.
Notes:
1. Business firearms licences are renewable every three years (except for an Ammo only business).
2. On May 17, 2006, the Government of Canada announced that individuals no longer have to pay a fee for the renewal of their possession-only licence (POL) or their possession and acquisition licence (PAL). The fee waiver also applies to:
- individuals who are modifying their licence to upgrade from a POL to a PAL;
- individuals who are adding new privileges to their licence;
- individuals whose licence expired and are obtaining a new licence; and
- minors who renew their minor's possession licence.
The fee waiver is anticipated to be in effect until May 17, 2011.
3. Fee costing studies were conducted in 1995.
4. A Non-Resident Firearms Declaration, confirmed by a customs officer, is deemed to be a temporary licence valid for a period up to 60 days.
5. For Access to Information requests, the policy of the RCMP is to waive reproduction fees whenever less than 50 pages are disclosed. However, when more than 50 pages are disclosed, fees may be calculated for the total number of pages. For extensive or complex requests, search and preparation fees are charged as determined on a case-by-case basis. For more
