Importing Your Shotgun into Canada

Visitors to Canada

To import firearms into Canada you must have a valid purpose. Valid purposes can include (but are not limited to) the following:

• hunting during hunting season
• use in competitions
• repair
• re-enactments
• in transit movement, i.e., moving in the most direct route possible from point A to point B, through Canada
• protection against wildlife in remote areas

Non-restricted Firearms

If you are importing non-restricted firearms and you hold a valid Canadian Firearms licence, you will need to show the valid Canadian firearms licence to a border services officer.

If you do not hold a valid Canadian firearms licence, you must:

• complete Form RCMP 5589: Non-Resident Firearm Declaration
• pay a Can $25 fee. The form acts as the visitors firearms licence while in Canada

Once confirmed by a border services officer, the declaration has the same effect as a temporary licence for the firearms for up to 60 days
