Firearm Declaration Form PDF Details

The Non-Resident Firearm Declaration, RCMP GRC 5589e (2024-11), is the RCMP form that a person who is not a resident of Canada and holds no Canadian firearm licence fills out to declare firearms, ammunition, cartridge magazines or firearm parts brought into Canada. It asks for personal details and one piece of government photo identification, the reason for bringing the firearms (hunting, competition, in transit, protection against wildlife or other), where they will be in Canada, and each firearm's type, make, serial number, gauge or calibre, barrel length and action. More than two firearms need the continuation sheet, RCMP GRC 5590, and a restricted firearm needs an Authorization to Transport. The form is handed to the Canada Border Services Agency on entry; once a customs officer confirms it, it serves as a temporary firearms licence for up to sixty days, or until the Authorization to Transport expires if that comes first. A prohibited firearm cannot be brought into Canada.
