I am planning a trip to Canada this fall to go moose hunting and am aware of the registration of guns and/or hunters possessing guns. We have tight flight connections and was wandering if there is anything that can be done in advance to make sure my gun and I make it thru together. My outfitter is a fishing camp and has not done any hunting since the new regs went into affect so he is not aware of the situation or what can be done to short cut it.

KWR: You can probably browze around in hear and find some help. Should be some contact info somewhere in there. http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/MNR/pubs/pubmenu.html#hunting

This is a quote from " The Book" .......

To bring firearms into Canada for hunting, visitors will need to report their firearms to Customs at the border., complete a non-resident firearm declaration form in triplicate, and pay aa $50.00(CDN) fee. Copies of the declaration form are available by calling 1-800-731-4000, or at the border, or at www.cfc.gc.ca. Non-residents who plan to borrow a firearm in Canada must obtain a Temporary Firearms Borrower`s Licence. Licence forms are available by calling the above number or by visiting the website.The Borrowers Licence must be completed before arrival into Canada. The cost of the licence is $30.00(CDN). Handguns and fully automatic firearms are prohibited.

Ron Good Luck,eh.

Thats Canadian for " bring a pillow" . []

Actually I suggest you fill out the forms and submit them before your trip. I believe the average waiting period is 30-60 days. So if your hunting in Sept. fill the forms and have them sent in by June. Then it is simple and no weighting time at customs, either through road or air travel. Just goto the above provided website fill out the form, pay by visa and your set!
