Since you are only allowed to hunt with non-restricted firearms in Canada, the person you are hunting with must have a valid PAL for non-restricted firearms. You should note that the word valid is significant when referring to a PAL. If the PAL holder has allowed their licence to expire or their PAL is suspended, revoked, or invalid for any reason, then the possession of that firearm is illegal. If you get checked, and neither of you can prove that the firearms you have are lawfully possessed, then the police will seize the guns.
Both you and your hunting partner could be charged under Section 91 1 of the Criminal Code. So if you are hunting without a PAL, you must always be with the person who holds the valid licence. Because situations in the woods can be very dynamic, there is no hard and fast ruling. You should always be able to reasonably demonstrate that the hunter with a valid PAL can directly supervise the firearm holder.
