classification of firearms means nothing to this conversation. you can't bring a handgun through Canada.again,if a Canadian can't carry through,what makes you think an out of country visitor can? you can apply,but you will be denied,regardless of what the "law" says.

I have attended several matches in Alberta and BC where shooters from the US have attended with their own guns. I have also requested and received ATT's covering travel in Alberta and BC, and US border crossing spanning nearly a month with no issues. I have requested and received ATT's for the Yukon for travel to Alaska, again covering more than a month. It IS doable.

maybe because you're canadian and have taken the nessesary classes to obtain and own prohibited/restricted firearms?and the key word here is "matches".if your the guy issuing att's are you stamping ok to travel or are you stamping denied and saving your ass if someone goes on a rampage with an att with your name on it.think about it.passing through and attending a shooting match are completely different scenarios,and canadian laws vs. us laws are not the same.they don't go both ways.
