Guns for non-residents
Hello all, I am new here so do not hurt ), came from Poland lived there for 3 years and freely visited the shooting range with the rental of any firearm that was available at the shooting ground.
I am from Ukraine and after 2019 I left all my weapons and moved to Poland. Now I'm here and wanted to shoot at the range, but I was refused because of the lack of a license, idiotic of course, in Europe there are no such requirements, and anyone can go and shoot!
The question is this - I found on the Internet that non-residents can buy a gun only for 3 months and every three months to renew the license, who knows here correct me, I would like to buy at least a ruger 0,22 and sig sauer 6,5 cridmore (or ruger) and something under 12k.
Too bad you can't buy AK or AR and the same short guns.
Came to Canada with three survivalist backpacks and that's it, I'm in this thread after the Nubiru attack 2012)))

You must have a license to acquire or posses a firearm in Canada.
It will take around 6 months to a year to actually get your firearms license after paying for and successfully passing the Canadian Firearms Safety Course.
You can however use a borrowed firearm if supervised by a licensed person.
Lots of information here:

For more information you can call 1-800-731-4000 extension 9026.
Be patient, as this is a Bureaucratic nightmare…..(no excuses)

I think you are in for disappointment.
I believe the temp license is just for immigrants coming to Canada with firearms or visitors here temporarily (temporary while you get a Canadian license, or the firearms will be seized). You won't be buying anything with it.
You need to get a PAL, end stop. Take the course and be aware, if you have not been here 5 years, you need a crim check from the country you were in before Canada.
You're not going to find a "work around" for this.

I think you're very wrong.

You may be right
Gun laws in Poland
Polish law allows modern firearms ownership under police-issued permit for people who can provide an important reason. Hunting, sport shooting and collection are the most popular reasons and require membership in suitable organizations.

Yes you can certainly go to some indoor ranges and rent guns to shoot without a PAL or RPAL. You will be under direct control of a worker who has the license.

Yup thats crazy that you can .
Same goes when you rent a boat at a Lake . You don't need a boating licence.

Get yourself signed up for the next available course. That's just the way it is.
If you're into some target shooting there are some pretty decent pellet rifles that you could use for the time being.
An older fellow at my work I thinking about getting one. They are still lots of fun to shoot.
