You need a special license issued for movie props and theatrical production. This comes from the CFC (now administered by the RCMP). They are rare, expensive and full of legal difficulties once you have the license. That, along with heavy tariffs for products from Asia, mean guns are twice as much in Canada as they are listed on U.S. or Asian websites. It's the price we must pay, for laws that we don't like.
