There are two different kinds of airsoft "suppressors", the totally 100% fake ones that are hollow and just used to cover long barrels, and the 50% fake ones that have the foam inside that actually reduce the sound of airsoft guns.
These foam ones are the ones that CBSA has problems with. I was at a LEGAL testing of an airsoft foam silencer on a real steel .22LR rifle and the damn thing made a VERY notable difference in the report of the firearm. Then I got my airsoft suppressor back
The suppressors that take a number of foam rings inside is the most "dangerous" in the sense that it can be made to be a fully functional suppressor WAY too easily. Cost was the price of the suppressor and $3 at a hardware store....

Read the laws on the matter. They state that ANYTHING that reduces the noise (they do NOT state by a certain decibal) of a firearm is prohibited. Meaning if they want to call it a suppressor in a court of a law you have a tough fight on your hands.
