Simple way to avoid any problems. Don't take any guns. Canada has friendly wildlife. The people are pretty nice too.

And when you are going up for a competition shoot what then?

Seizures way up Apparently some Americans don't realize we take this stuff seriously.

Out west to.

If you have a legitimate reason for bringing permitted firearms into the country and fill out the proper paper work there is no problem. However CBSA takes a very dim view of undeclared weapons unintentional or otherwise. "Oh Gee officer, I plumb fergot about that 38 semi auto in the bedside table" doesn't cut it.

Canada has tight gun laws Canada also has low rates of deaths by gunshot. We want to keep it that way in our country. Smuggling guns into our country should receive severe consequences such as impoundment of vehicles and possible jail time. Permits for events such as shooting cometetions are available. This is the case for other permitted uses. The extra efforts of the Border Agents to stop undeclared weapons is to be applauded.

This was the press release from a couple weeks ago;

We carried a shotgun with us to AK. I studied the Canadian regulations, filled out the form, and gave it to them when they asked. They were VERY business like, but everything worked like their website indicated.

After having been through Canadian Customs, I just can't imagine how people think they can get by with anything. It is not a game. The RCMP will make that very clear, very fast.

When we were in Watson Lake i was in a store that had ammo for sale, i asked if guns are so restricted then why is ammo available and the lady told me everyone there has guns. I didnt bring one into Canada, but a couple we met along the way went through the process and took one. We didnt need a gun, bear spray or even mosquito repellant for that matter.
