TOTAL nonsense. Put away your paranoia and check the facts.
Well, I did do some research and yes, what the poster says, can happen. But..its the American ATF, doing vehicle searches at the border, before getting to the CDN agents, NORTHBOUND that can cause the big trouble. Having ammo that is subject to an Export License.
In fact, I have been thru these, at the Peace Arch in Washington State. I had just never connected the dots.

We traveled to Canada one time. They saw we were from Texas, so they not only asked if we had any guns with us(and of course we said no). They also asked if we had any guns back in Texas. What type of question is that. I understand them not wanting guns in their country, but what business is it of theirs if we have guns back home in Texas? We had to say no, otherwise I think we would have been in for a long and unnecessary search.

Whenever I get the urge to travel in Canada, I suppress it by reminding myself of the border hassles others have experienced. I am a CCW permit holder, so I would probably be flagged. Although I would never intentionally try to enter Canada with a non-permitted firearm (permits are obtainable for long guns), what if I accidentally had one stray bullet lost in the bottom of a bag or in a deep recess of the camper? Once found, I would be up the proverbial creek without a paddle. No way do I want to take the chance, when an honest mistake can cost thousands of dollars plus maybe time behind bars.
No tourist dollars for Canada from this traveler. It just seems too risky to me. Plenty to see and do in the USA anyway.
Actually you can bring up to 5000 rounds of small arms ammunition in to Canada with out a permit or declaring it.
I used to bring thousands of 22 longs into Canada for years from Spokane when my daughters were in biathlon.
So finding one bullet won't get any charges laid against you it may cause a more through inspection.
It's just like when you go through the security inspections at the airports. In the airports they are looking out for everyone's safety, well so are the boarder guards.
Each country has its own laws that everyone must abide by when a guest or resident.
Canada dosent allow hand guns, and the USA doesn't allow Kinder Surprise Candy.
