I don't think there's any legal reason to need to avoid carrying ammunition for guns you don't have with you through Canada (subject to the 5000 round limit), assuming it's properly declared etc., though it may well make them more likely to search your vehicle at the border--as they have every right to do in any case. Many people do this on the way to Alaska if they have a handgun shipped separately there in care of a gun dealer.
I'm planning to have my handgun shipped next time I go to Alaska and was wondering about the ammo, thinking I would have to buy new ammo in Tok and then ditch it before leaving. I'm wondering if a search can be avoided by declaring the ammo and showing the paperwork involved in shipping the firearm.
