Firearms Authorization to Transport (ATT) Renewals
Most Canadians assume that citizens of this country are free to go wherever they
like without the need for "travel papers". This is incorrect. Law-abiding owners
of restricted/prohibited firearms require government authorizations to leave their
residences with their firearms. To move your legally held firearms you must have
the appropriate Authorization to Transport (ATT) issued by your province's Chief
Firearms Officer (CFO), otherwise you can be arrested, imprisoned for five years
and all of your firearms will be confiscated. If you do not have a valid firearms
license, you will not be issued an ATT and if your firearms license expires, your
ATT is revoked. If you wish to obtain a pistol for target shooting, you will need
to join a club and get an ATT before you will be allowed to take the handgun home
from the seller. While this sounds fairly oppressive, in practice it is just a
matter of accurately filling out the forms and waiting several weeks for your ATT to arrive. InstructionsWhen completing this form it is essential that you complete the application form in the manner required by the CFO of your province. Copies of these forms are also kept in the clubhouse on the table or in the desk drawers. Instructions for Ontario and Quebec members of the Eastern Ontario Handgun Club are found below. If you reside in Ontario and have questions concerning your Authorization to Transport Application, contact Secretary@eohc.ca or call the CFO's office at 1-800-731-4000 ext 7503. ONTARIO RESIDENTSOntario residents get to skip a variety of sections. Please complete and print this online ATT form that has been customized for residents of Ontario. Any sections of the form that you cannot click on do not need to be filled out.

If you send the permit directly to the Ontario CFO, it will be rejected.
