How do you get a PAL or RPAL gun license in Ottawa?
Our courses are structured for maximum comfort and success. Absolutely no previous firearms experience is required.
MAIN VENUE
Hosted at the primary corporate training site for Ottawa Firearm Safety™ at the exceptionally clean Innes and Tenth Centre (4473 Innes Road, Orléans, ON K4A 3J7).
FREE PARKING & TRANSIT
Easily accessible with stress-free, complimentary parking for all students.
COMPLIMENTARY AMENITIES
Enjoy free high-speed Wi-Fi, unlimited coffee, tea, and bottled water, plus full access to our classroom kitchenette equipped with a mini-fridge, microwave, plates, and cutlery so you can comfortably store and eat your own meals during the course breaks.
EQUIPMENT FLEET
Hands-on, one-to-one practice with an excellent selection of modern, deactivated firearms.
WEEKEND SCHEDULE
Friday 5pm-9pm,
Saturday 8am-5pm, and
Sunday 8am-5pm.
Keeps your weekend manageable.

PROMPT ATTENDANCE

PAPERWORK SUPPORT
Providing active guidance with your RCMP paperwork to prevent massive processing delays.
SCHEDULE DEMAND & COMBO FOCUS
We base our calendar entirely on student demand, prioritizing high-efficiency Combined CFSC/CRFSC courses. Taking both qualifications together is the preferred choice for Ottawa students because it saves time, saves duplicate RCMP application fees, and avoids the common trap of becoming an "orphaned student" hunting for rare standalone restricted seats later.
