       In July, the OFAH wrote a letter to Minister of Public Safety
       and Emergency Preparedness, Bill Blair, to express concerns with
       the backlog of firearm licence processing and the potential for
       it to prevent hunters and sport shooters from using their
       firearms.
       We received a response from the Director General of the Canadian
       Firearms Program (CFP) informing us that “even though [firearms
       owners] may not be in possession of [a] firearms licence card
       their licence may have been approved by the Chief Firearms
       Officer and they could obtain proof through this online
       submission portal”. In a follow-up to clarify what is ‘proof’,
       we were told that the CFP was originally suggesting clients to
       print/display the online message stating "Your application has
       been processed and your licence has been issued" while they
       worked on the backlog, and noted that “the enforcement community
       can view the newly issued firearms licence via their online
       systems even if the client has not received their firearms
       licence card”.
       The CFP also reported to us thorough e-mail correspondence that
       they are now currently up to date on the printing of firearm
       licence cards.
       If you have not received your firearms licence card, and you get
       the message stating "Your application has been processed and
       your licence has been issued" when performing a licence
       application search through the CFP's online Individual Web
       Services, the CFP suggests you contact them by calling
       1-800-731-4000.
       This information should help clarify the uncertainty and
       confusion hunters and recreational shooters have been facing
       with their licence renewals during COVID-19. The OFAH will
       continue to monitor firearms licensing, inform the firearms
       community, and advocate for efficient and user-friendly renewal
       and application processes. Stay up-to-date at
