You must be at least 18 years old to apply for a firearms Possession and Acquisition ( PAL ) License in Canada.
It is possible for some people under 18 to obtain a special minors license in some cases to borrow firearms for certain lawful uses, such as hunting. However, since it is possible for minors to use firearms under the direct and immediate supervision of a licensed person, these licenses are fairly rare.

Don't get your hopes up. The CFO has a duty to notify them of your application if they do not sign your application form. It's not just your ex, anyone may raise a public safety concern about someone's application, and those concerns are taken very seriously.
