There's exactly one firearms license in Canada, the PAL.
You take the CFSC, you get your PAL.
At the same time you take your CFSC, take the add-on CRFSC, the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course. When you apply for your PAL, you tick the box that you'd also like the 'Restricted' endorsement. This gets you your PAL with Restricted, which most people just refer to as an RPAL.
There is no 'handgun' license in Canada, and no way to get a license that lets you have a handgun, but not have, say, a hunting rifle.
So, long story short, you take CFSC and CRFSC course, usually it's a day and a half combined.
