Global Affairs Canada sets import permit rules for restricted handguns under Notice to Importers No. 1106

Global Affairs Canada states in Notice to Importers No. 1106, issued under the Export and Import Permits Act, that importation of restricted handguns into Canada is limited to police, military, movie and theatrical purposes; training, competing or coaching in an Olympic or Paralympic handgun shooting discipline; and re-importation of lawfully registered handguns by individuals holding a possession and acquisition licence (PAL) and registration certificate. Import permits are required for the first two categories, and applications for other purposes will normally be denied. Notice to Importers No. 1090 is no longer in place, and Notice 1106 remains in place until further notice.
