Legally deactivating a 1911

I'll know!
Sell it on the EE so someone gets some proper use out of it.
Use the money to buy one of X-ray man's X-rays of a 1911.
Way cooler, and no gun gets neutered.
My gun has sentimental value(as much as a Norinco can), and is the one with no Norinco or "Made in China" markings.
I also have an original WWII holster to go with it. Excellent display items, IMO.
And who in their right mind would have a problem with neutering, defacing, deactivating, or otherwise bubbaing a Nork!
Although I will always feel that they are standard by which all other 1911s should be judged.

Don't do it...bad Karma.
To answer the OP's question...
To get a firearm deleted from the Registry, it must be deactivated according to the current standards dictated by the powers that be, signed off by someone approved by them to do the work. Find a gunsmith approved to do the work, and then see if he will sign off on the job if you do it.
Ganderite's suggestion makes the most sense.

If it's a good shooting Norc then me for one. It's a shame to de-activate a good shooter regardless of where it comes from.
You do know that there are guidelines that allow you to put together a display case and mount the gun in a manner that locks the gun from use in the case, right? You could display your gun and holster legally and then unlock the case and unlock the gun from the case and go shoot with it then when you get home resecure the gun to the back board with an effective lock and then lock the case shut and it's all nice and legal. The need for a "shadow box" display case also suggests wiring it to the room lights or independently so the inside of the case is tastefully lit by some LED strip lighting or similar.
Why would you ever deactivate a functioning restricted?
The law is VERY clear on displaying restricted pistols.
●Attach secure locking device to the firearms; AND
●Securly attach them to something that cannot be moved.
And as always......ammunition cannot be displayed with, or accessible to, the firearms.
Simple. Wall mounted trigger locks.
No glass. No case. Hell screw it onto the wall in your kitchen. 100% within the Canadian laws.

How have you attached the trigger locks to the wall there? Just drill holes through the non-important bits?
Collectors source does work like that . but not to sound sarcastic but you said you think Nork 1911s are excellent and you want to castrate one ?? sorry to say but I could'nt bring myself to do that . and it does'nt even say made in China either . that's a keeper. heck I'll give you a $100 dollars and take it off your hands to save it's life . LOL .

Sorry but this is one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard, I want to display this pistol that has sentimental value to me, so I'm going to get it deactivated and make it a paperweight...

I've never done this...buuut. I don't see a reason why a private party couldn't deactivate a gun. The techs might (probably will) ask for it to be sent in for inspection. As long as the er ummm "gun" was no longer a gun by the RCMP's "standards", There shouldn't be an issue.

Don't understand why everyone is getting so up in arms about this. I could understand why people would be upset if he was wanting to deactivate something like an original Colt 1911 or a Luger, but its a Norinco. If the man wants to deactivate a firearm of his just so he doesn't have to conform to storage laws, then let him do it. I don't see it as any worse than bubba'ing a SKS or sporterizing an Enfield
To try and answer the OP's question, not sure if this helps but a quick google search revealed this. Also it appears that any deactivation work has to be done by a gunsmith.
