Heres a simple breakdown:

Airsoft, for all intents and purposes the general public cannot cross border with this. Falls under replica firearm and as such is a prohibited device.

Airgun/Pellet gun (.177 and 4.5mm) shooting "495 FPS", importable (uncontrolled firearm). (ie. Daisy Powerline, Winchester, Gamo, Air Force, Anschutz, Ruger, Beeman., etc.)

Firearms (restricted/non restricted), general public CANNOT import, PERIOD (businesses I believe are the only ones that can import for sale to PAL/RPAL holders depending on terms set out in their business firearm license, ie. theatre props, mil/le training, sport shooting, hunting etc.).
Not entirely True:

Replica: Requires Business Firearm License for importation strictly in the purpose for theatrical or as a tool in the teaching of Firearm Safety Course

Uncontrolled Firearm: No permit or license required

Controlled Non-Restricted and Restricted Firearm: If you have proper paper work done before importing as a civilian it's possible, as in Registering the firearm, export permit if the exporting country requires (US does) and ATT if needed. BFL will also help.

Way to cite your resources btw.

And to the person who asked what gun, it was the boyi AEG RK06.
According to Criminal Code Section 2 in Firearms Act,
under the current definition of replica which is considered prohibited device if an item: looks resemble of a firearm in its shape colour it's considered as a replica except:
1) It's replica of a antique firearm
2) It self is not a firearm
3) It is not transparent or the size is significantly bigger/ smaller than the firearm it was replicating
Base on the criteria above, the device you mention above falls under the definition of replica and thus is a prohibited device.

-Maybe I should go lawschool and be the defendent of CBSA eh?
