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.

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.
