The temporary ban on the importation of restricted handguns in Canada is now in effect (August 19th, 2022).

This temporary ban means that permits for import-restricted handguns into Canada will no longer be issued to individuals or businesses, subject to narrow exceptions that mirror those in Bill C-21.

The Federal Government says these measures will slow the run on handguns until the national handgun freeze proposed in Bill C-21 comes into force.
