Traveling into Canada

We are based in Saskatchewan. In a farming community located in the southeast corner of the Saskatchewan province. Here you can enjoy a sportsman paradise. It is mostly cropland, where in the fall, the skies fill with migrating waterfowl making their last stop before entering the states. Being just south of the Qu’appelle River valley, it is not uncommon to have an opportunity at a record book Black Bear.

AIRPORTS: Regina Airport (YQR) is the closest Canadian airport (2 hr. drive) Minot, ND (MOT) is the closest US airport (3.5 hr. drive)

LODGING: We use a local motel for your rooms. Located just 2 miles from headquarters. The Quest Motel is a recently renovated and well kept place to hang your hat. Feel free to check them out here.

Bringing your dog: a current rabies vaccine certificate is all that is required. This can be obtained at your local vet, prior to your trip.

Firearms and other weapons: All weapons – including firearms, mace, tear gas and pepper spray – must be declared to customs upon arrival. Under Canadian law, visitors are not allowed to import firearms and defensive sprays for personal protection. Visitors who are at least 18 years old may import ordinary rifles and shotguns for hunting. The importation is allowed, provided the customs is satisfied with the circumstances of the importation. You will need to fill out a firearm importation form (Form RCMP5589/CAFC 909). The form can be found here.

Note: When you enter Canada from abroad, passport is required. A valid visa may also be required. If you are traveling from the U.S., be sure to allow plenty of time for your passport to be issued.

*Criminal Records - Individuals with criminal records, including DUI convictions, may be refused entry into Canada. A waiver can be obtained, but must be handled prior to travel to Canada. It is strongly recommended that you apply for a waiver to eliminate the worry of being refused entry.
