Clients bringing firearms into Canada must complete a Non-Resident Firearms Declaration (form RCMP 5589) along with a fee. The declaration form should be filled out prior to arrival at the Canada point of entry. However, it should not be signed before arriving at the entry point, as a Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) customs officer must witness the signature. Declare all firearms to the border services officer with your ‘Non-Resident Firearm Declaration Form’ when you arrive at the border and answer all questions truthfully. Once the declaration has been confirmed by the CBSA customs officer, it acts as a license for the owner and it is valid for 60 days. Find information and links to the firearms forms through this link: https://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/firearms/non-residents
If you are interested in pre-processing your firearm prior to entering Canada as a non-resident hunter, contact your local CBSA. It is advisable to start the process early.

Handguns are illegal. Do not bring any with you.
