Really? I just got off the phone with the Canuck firearms people. She told me to fill out a 5589 in triplicate and call ahead to the airport I was flying into. She said some will pre-register you. And I saw somewhere it was a $25(CDN) fee. Good for 60 days.
What steps did you go through? I will certainly be calling them several more times before I head that way. We will be bringing two rifles. Is it better to bring them in one case or two?

That's exactly what we did. They still make you wait in line, xray your gun, open your case, identify the gun, ask you questions, etc.
I was expecting to just breeze on through, that wasn't the case.
And coming back into the states was worse.

One case and make sure it has a lock on it or else they will not let you fly with it. We filled out the forms beforehand as well and that did save a little time, but there are other forms that they make you fill out when you are checking bags as well. It also cost more to check the firearms than a normal bag as well (we flew Canadian airlines into Canada). If you let them know you are going specifically for hunting they don't ask many questions, but the whole process can be time consuming.
