Thanks Steven, that’s currently the plan. All documentation in place except for ID. Going to book her ID application on her birthday so can get it done ASAP.

I took her passport which has an ID number but they didn’t want to accept.

I would expect them to accept unabridged birth certificate for a minor. Did you try that?

Wait for the id, this is the number that they input into the system, without it Saps cannot search the system for any queries.

They would only accept ID. I asked if I could use birth certificate and they said only ID. Not long to go, only a month or so, so no stress.

He did need to get the following first.
1) Dedicated Sportsman.
2) Competency.

The competency is the hard part, as CFR will look at every aspect. Fortunately my son had competed for almost 2 years already, has a collection of medals and it was shown that he excelled in his division.
We still used GOSA to apply for the competency.

Getting the actual FA onto his name was a non-issue and both were approved first time round.

How did you manage the ID document? Thanks

Yes, and the passport has it as well. Still didn’t want to accept it.

Finally handed in application today after getting the odds and ends sorted out. DFO was very helpful and supportive and made sure we had everything in order.Now the wait begins.

Interesting.
Still want to know if it would be a valid motivation to state that you are buying weapon for minor to use in your presence supervision. This weapon is being bought for my son who is ten and hunts beside me - we can not both use my weapon which is to big for him, so I am buying this Howa Junior Sub Sized for him, as in apposed to some bullshit story about needing a smaller sized weapon because the bush is thick and a standard weapon gets tangled up etc, - as in a honest reason.

I bought a .22 pistol, and the motivation was that I wanted to teach my 5 year old granddaughter the fundamentals of shooting, and they approved it
