Businesses authorized to perform firearm deactivations
In order for a firearm to be considered deactivated by the Canadian Firearms Registry, a gunsmith must confirm that it can no longer be considered a firearm as defined in section 2 of the Criminal Code. The gunsmith must be working for a firearms business with a valid firearms business licence, authorized by the Canadian Firearms Program, to perform the modifications required to deactivate a firearm.
The following does not represent an exhaustive list of businesses certified in deactivation. Contact the Chief Firearms Officer in your jurisdiction, to determine the businesses certified in deactivation closest to your community.
