Yes, you're SOL unless you have prohib status.
They don't pop up very often, regardless. They were a fairly expensive pistol which ended up having teething problems (when they first came out with that decocker/slide release combo lever) so few got picked up in Canada making them fairly rare up here.
Combined, that accounts for the blank stare/kooky look, although I sometime get that from Canadian Tire clerks on simple .22 ammo.
I still would have liked to try a P88 to form my own opinion as I really liked its looks and accuracy reputation.
Marstar used to carry the Bersa Thunder Nine (possibly still do but I can't find it on their site) which is said to be a somewhat similar P88 clone. It isn't prohib.

It has a barrel length of 102mm as does the Glock 19. Now if you could get a longer barrel for it then it would only be restricted. I say restricted as if that is a thing to be joyful about (a 2nd Amendment right here in Canada would be a normal free man's right).
Thanks for the help. I assumed they were prohib by the barrel length, but one guy at milarm told me a while ago they were just restricted. In hindsight, I assume now he was refering to the p99. I have a thing for walther pistols, but my p38 is kind of a piece of crap ( cant hit #### with it except my forehead, which gets hot brass bouncing of it) so I was gonna try for a p88. Guess im out of luck. Maybe ill try to get a CZ75, it would go nice with my 858.
