"...Had A FAC it expired..." FAC's were declared null and void. All part of the plan to make getting into the shooting sports as expensive in time and money as possible to discourage new or returning shooters. Just like when the RCMP decided they would no longer administer restricted firearms and destroyed all their restricted records. Allowed the Rat offspring of unmarried parents Liberals to require everybody to re-register at $25 per firearm.
Anyway, as mentioned, you only need to prove you passed the useless tests. No time limit. Assuming the instructor did what he was required to do and sent in his part of the paperwork.
