Thought I'd post my experience with renewals. My folks both needed to have their S13's renewed and I did all the legwork for them.

It it was really easy actually, no large motivations or anything. Basically motivations were written in the block provided stating that their original purpose for the forearm has not changed.

The usual supporting documents were required, proof of address, ID etc. According to the DFO there have been no renewal declines and that there is a very large portion of local gun owners who have let their licenses expire.
