At some recent sports shows, several people inquiring about hunting trips were concerned about entry into Canada with firearms.  Actually, the process is quite simple.  It is a matter of completing a form and paying a fee.  Below are the instructions:

1. Non-Resident Firearm Declaration Form CAFC 909

2. Non-Resident Firearm Declaration Continuation Form CAFC 910

Prepare the above forms precisely as instructed and in triplicate.  DO NOT SIGN the forms until you are in the presence of the Canadian Customs Officer. 

3. $25.00 fee (Canadian - may be subject to change without notice)

Be sure you leave the customs post with a stamped copy of the declaration.  Some Canadian Custom Officer's like to verify the serial numbers of the firearms, so it is best to have the firearms legally encased but yet accessible (not packed at the bottom of your gear).

Be sure you know the laws!  Click below for information on bringing your firearms into Canada:

Note For Those Who Fly:

We recommend that  you do not fly Air Canada directly to Winnipeg.  Air Canada now charges $50 (per piece) each way to transport your firearms.  We suggest flying into Minneapolis MN and then take a Northwest flight to Winnipeg.
