From the Newbie FAQ Section piece that I wrote:
4) Q: Is FMJ (full metal jacket) ammo prohibited?
A: NO! It is not prohibited to OWN, but it is illegal to use for HUNTING big game. For some reason, a few PAL instructors seem to think that the world of shooting begins and ends with hunting. This is where a lot of the mis-information gets started.
5) Q: Is hollow point ammo prohibited?
A: NO! . It is legal to own and use HP ammo in handguns. In the past, importation of Hollow Point pistol ammunition was an issue with Natural Resources Canada, but the ruling had changed since then.

Restrictions on the importation of hollow-point handgun ammunition no longer apply. Hollow-point ammunition for all types of firearms is now admissible.

Too bad the Lebarons in Ottawa is much better. They may not be too up to speed on guns but at least they treat you with respect.
