Motivation for competency
I need to submit applications for additional rifle and shotgun competency. My handgun competency is still in the process, and the DFO said I can submit the others.
Does one need to submit supporting motivation for a competency? Or is the motivation only required for the actual firearm licence?

Re: Motivation for competency
You don't state whether your additional need for competencies are for private use, but however you only need to obtain the proficiency certificates from your training provider and then you can submit those applications for (additional) competency at the DFO.
It is only for Section 13 where you need to prove "the need" for the firearm. Once again, if you apply for Sec 15 or 16 type licenses, your "documentary proof" that are indeed a Sec 15 or 16 type shooter is what you must prove and stress in your application, You could apply for such licenses simultaneously when submitting your application for the competencies. You obviously know about the limitations on the number of firearms per license. The motivation for the license is a skill, some people submit "portfolios" (I reckon that is overkill) and others - like current champions - only submit the necessary in a brief but detailed manner - and they get their licenses. The waiting period is about 6 months!

Re: Motivation for competency
Actually, I have many clients that obtained their licenses within 3 months after receival of their competency certificate. Also for a good number it took 6 onths altogether. Yes, there are the 12 months, etc. guys, but in "most" cases the applicant omitted to "stick to the plan" and the check's one can follow to ensure the 'system' is working on your application.
