That the registration fee for a US firearm imported to canada for purpose of a hunt and return to the states is now $25.00?

Last time I hunted Canada it was $50.00

Vapo, the wife and I went a few weeks ago and it was $25 Canadian.

Thats a step in the right direction.....it's nothing but a scam anyway!!!

I have avaoided Canada for that silly reason alone.....But just might have to go Caribou hunting this year.

Try being a Canadian and wanting to take a hunting rifle into the US!! I wish I only had to pay $25 (or $50 or even $100!!).

I can assure you that I'd change that in a heartbeat if I could.....and rest assured that I have written my congressman about it!

It's pure bullshit!

can the fee be paid in U.S dollars currency, or do I need $25 Canadian? thanks

I think your best bet is to pay with a credit card and let them worry about the exchange. That's what we did.

If you plan on going to Canada every year it is worth it to get a PAL (Possession Aquisition License). You have to take and pass a safety class, which mine cost $80. Then you fill out an application and pay another $50.

Once you have your PAL you register your firearms with Canada and they send you certificates for each one. Then you pay nothing at the border. The license is good for 5 years but renewal is free. Only way to go in my mind.

One year at the border I told them I had a PAL and they didn't even want to see it. They just sent me on my way.
