It is illegal to import prohibited devices (replica firearms) without licence.
If you use a BFL to import an airsoft gun, it is imported as a prohibited device (replica firearm). That's its classification, declared by the importer and accepted by CBSA.
Section 24 of the Firearms Act states that it is illegal to transfer prohibited devices to non-businesses (licenced businesses, at that). Therefore, transfer between private individuals of airsoft guns imported via BFL is as illegal as the original act of transfer from business to private individual, because by definition, it entered the country as a
prohibited device.
