ProvincialEach province has its own
Chief Firearms Officer (CFO), appointed either by the Government of Canada or by the Executive Council of the province they served in. The three territories shares a CFO with another province (British Columbia - Yukon, Alberta - Northwest Territories & Manitoba - Nunavut). They are responsible for making decisions (grant, deny, revoke or put conditions) on licensing (ie. Possession and Acquisition Licence), Authorization to Transport, Authorization to Carry and transfer of firearms along with all of its administrative work.[10]
Each province also appoint firearms officers (generally speaking, police officers or RCMP Civilian members) to inspect and ensure compliance within the definition of the Firearms Act. They may apply to court for a preventative prohibition order if it is in the public's interest that a person should not be in possession of any weapons regulated under the Firearms Act.[11] In carrying out their duties, they can demand firearms be presented to them and samples to be taken.[12] Failure to comply is a summary offence which may lead to complications when one is up to renew his or her firearms licence for previous contravention of the Firearms Act.[13]
