Which licence do I need? If you only wish to possess and use regular hunting rifles and shotguns then the majority of these firearms fall into the class of Non-Restricted firearms. We cannot class all rifles or as they are commonly referred to as LONG GUNS as Non-Restricted. It would be your rsponsibility to verify with the Canadian Firearm center to see if the firearm you desire is Non Restricted or not.

With the changing laws and regulations many firearms have been added to the prohibited list. There are still many long guns that will fall under the restricted category that you could possess. For these specific firearms you would require a RESTRICTED POSSESSION AND ACQUISITION LICENCE.
