Has anyone applied for a PAL in Canada?

[whatnow-whatnever]

I'm in a slightly better position now to apply for a possession and acquisition license for firearms, but there are questions on there about whether I've had depression or suicidal thoughts in the past. I'm worried that answering yes will get my application instantly denied / prompt some sort of investigation. Does anyone know how this works?

They have no way of knowing what thoughts you've had in the past, just lie.

I'm worried that they'll ask followup questions or do some kind of investigation, but maybe lying is just the better option. I'm honestly not sure

There's no reason for follow-up questions on that topic if you lie and say no.
