Similar situation with us, arrived with 20g shotgun (same weapon into Canada before), paperwork, -No! you can't carry it into Cananda, never really explained why - not that I was owed an explanation, it is not my country. it did change our plans, we dry camp a lot and part of the area we were planning to visit is really "lonely" so we changed that and shortened our trip. Before we go again, and we will, we really enjoy Canada, I will try and get clarification, and if there is a procedure to seek such at the border.
