Just got back from Canada. Hand guns, NO PROBLEM. Went through customs, with all the proper paperwork. They don't even want to see the firearm(s). All they want is the CN$35. Guns stayed in the car. Money came out of the wallet.

It's clearly printed on the customs form what is allowed, and what is not.

On the way back, they don't even want to see the dead bear, or the guns. All they want is the paperwork filled out. Didn't even care about guns.

It's all about $$$$, nothing else.
You pay to transport guns, hunting license, & bear export permit. It's all about the almighty dollar.

Customs officers on both sides are so accustomed to bear hunters, they don't even flinch when you mention guns / dead animals / ammo.
