Careers That Require a Firearms Licence PAL
Many people ask us what the careers are that require a firearms licence or what career opportunities become available once you have your PAL? Some are obvious and some you may have never considered.
Let’s run down some of the more common ones.
Armoured Industry
The armoured car industry employs a large number of people across Canada and many of those positions require both a non-restricted and restricted Possession and Acquisition Licence. Many opportunities in the cash, vau and money rooms still require applicants to have a PAL even though their responsibilities are primarily in-house. The more visible jobs at companies like Brinks and Garda World, such as Armoured Car Guards, Messengers and Drivers all require staff that have been licensed to possess firearms. Only individuals who have a valid PAL can be issued an ATC or Authorization to Carry, by the chief firearms officer of the province they are employed in. The ATC is required for individuals that carry guns while transporting cash or negotiables.
Cabela’s

Wildlife Control
If you are in Richmond or surrounding area, YVR employs staff that manages the local wildlife to ensure the safety of aeroplanes. Although dispatching animals is a last resort, the job requires people to be able to safely handle firearms and since firearms are carried the employees must have a possession and acquisition licences. BC Firearms Academy offers a convenient training location on Fraser and Kingsway in Vancouver.

Have you explored the possibility of being involved with federal law enforcement? Canada Border Services Agency known as CBSA has been a popular career choice for people all across Canada. Unlike most law enforcement agencies, CBSA requires that applicants for many positions have completed the Canadian Firearms Safety Course and Restricted Firearms Safety Course. During many bids/application processes, the applicants must present their course reports to be considered for the position. The courses reports are the proof of completion a student receives after successfully finishing the CFSC & CRFSC.
