My PAL comes up for renewal in November. Knowing how long it took to get processed last time, I figure the time is coming to start the process, so I don't get caught without a valid one.

My question is, who's responsible for this? Do I just go and get a new form and start it all over again, or do I wait for the gov't to notify me that it's time for me to renew?

Is this relevent?

Employee Licences

As part of maintaining a valid firearms business licence, it is important to ensure that every employee who handles firearms keeps their firearms licence current. They must renew their licence before it expires.

A renewal application will be sent to the home address of all licensed employees approximately three months before their licence expires. If an employee's licence is about to expire but they have not yet received a renewal application, they can download form number CAFC 1039 from our web site at www.cfc-cafc.gc.ca or obtain one by calling 1 800 731-4000. When employees receive their application form, it is important that they complete it and return it as quickly as possible in order to receive the new licence before their current licence expires. The mailing address is Central Processing Site, Box 1200, Miramichi, NB E1N 5Z3.

Now, the question is, do they send us a renewal or not?

Brilliant idea! Lets get a new government, and ditch the licences.
