I received a letter from Ms Kellie Paquette, Director General of the CFP, saying that firearms which meet the criteria of "antique firearms" are exempt from the regulatory requirements of the Firearms Act. I would take that to mean that you could also import such guns into Canada. In the case of flintlocks, SOR 98-464 says that flintlock long arms are antique even if they are made in modern times
