There aren't many 12(2) or12(3) grandfathers left. And just to illustrate the intricacy of Canadian gun laws, some time ago, a collector contacted me looking for a Lewis gun. The complication was that it would have to be full-auto, because he had 12(2) status, but not 12(3). Full-auto grandfathering does not include converted auto. Just because you can be trusted with a fully-automatic firearm, that doesn't mean you can be trusted with a semi-auto look-alike. After all, it's those semi-autos that are causing our current bloodbath.
