YOUNG’S CAMP HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES

TRANSPORTING A SHOTGUN OR RIFLE INTO CANADA
Source: Ontario Hunting Regulations

Effective January 1, 2001, federal firearms regulations require that hunters who wish to bring non-restricted firearms into Canada declare their firearms at their point of entry. A fee is required to complete this procedure; this confirmed declaration is valid for up to 60 days. Firearms Declaration Forms are available from Customs offices, through the toll-free Canadian Firearms Centre information line at 1-800-731-4000, through the Canadian Firearms Centre Web site at www.cfc-cafc.gc.ca (click on “Fact Sheets”) and often through hunting outfitters.

Note: Non-residents may not bring more than a total of 200 shotgun shells and rifle cartridges into Canada. Ammunition is available for purchase locally. For waterfowl we recommend a 12 gauge shotgun with non-toxic #4 or larger shot and for upland game #8 or larger shot lead or non-toxic.
