I feel lucky that I got it before covid and I bought my vintage matching SKS before the firearm ban and price increase. I even got my work to pay for my PAL safety course because they had a yearly "educational allowance" that could be spent on unrelated things to work.
If you have a clean history and no criminal record like I do, RCMP won't bother to contact your references. Althought if you have a wife / or had a common law relationship they WILL call her from what I heard.
