My bad, just googled exactly what you are asking about. I've never seen one of those until today.
If it uses pistol mags, then they can be as many as 10 rounds and still be legal. It's a loophole, but still legal.
If the barrel is 16.5 like the one I just found using a google search, it is most likely restricted. Some short rifles like that sneak through the cracks and wind up non-restricted though. Our super-awesome laws make it tough to decipher. My gues would be restricted though.

Straight from the horses...mouth I guess.
RCMP bulletin No 72
4. Magazines designed for one firearm but used in a different firearm
The maximum permitted capacity of a magazine is determined by the kind of firearm it is designed or manufactured for use in and not the kind of firearm it might actually be used in. As a consequence, the maximum permitted capacity remains the same regardless of which firearm it might be used in.
Example:
The Marlin model 45 (Camp Carbine) rifle chambered for 45 Auto caliber uses magazines designed and manufactured for the Colt 1911 handgun, therefore the seven round and eight round capacities are permitted. A similar example is the 10 round capacity magazine for the Rock River Arms LAR-15 pistol, regardless of the kind of firearm it is actually used in.
