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
