Overall length over 26", barrel length over 18.5 inches, if it's a semi-auto. Magazine capacity for semi-auto long guns is 5. All other action types are unlimited. Your shotgun is considered "non-restricted" up here, so that makes it easier. Transport unloaded, with a trigger lock and in a lockable case if possible. The locks are overkill, but it will impress the CBSA (customs) folks on our side. Ammo can be stored in the same locked case or container with the firearm. Sorry for all the goofy rules, but we don't have a 2A.
There are form(s) that need to be filled out, beforehand if you download them. Then declare it at the border, show them the form, and I think you need to go to secondary to sign it in front of someone important. If in doubt, call the toll free number and ask. I find them pretty easy to deal with, and reasonable. They would rather you asked the questions, than just show up at the border and have problems.
