i am not sure of the laws up there but u might be able to get it shipped even if it is illegal.  I live in nj and iv had them shipped to me before.

If u dont want to do that get it shipped to a gun shop or a friend right across the border if u live close and just go pick it up and bring it back through customs.  idk if ur allowed to do that but i have friends with houses up in canada and he has a bb guns up there so he did it some how.  i think he bought it here and went up with it and just didnt tell customs lol

First of all, if you're interested in buying a non clear airsoft gun in Canada, I would suggest getting involved with Airsoft Canada as soon as possible. They run buy and sells, and almost all the reliable retailers in Canada will require you to be age verified with Airsoft Canada.

Now you CAN import a clear airsoft gun into Canada from an international retailer, but in most cases, their quality is barely worth the shipping it would cost to get it into Canada. It's really not worth the money.

Airsoft is not illegal in Canada, but it is a legal gray area. Therefore I would highly encourage you to go to ASC and start reading the FAQs and the information posted there about Airsoft and Canada. I would also suggest you become Age Verified as soon as possible so you may purchase Airsoft guns.

Canada law says they have to be out of clear plastic.  Your options are pretty limited unless you have one couriered from Honk Kong from a site like rsov.com

Actually another post just said airsoftgi.com is shipping there.  I didn't think they did but you can check it out.  (I just read a disclaimer that you are responsible for local laws, that was it)
