Going into Canada you have to stop at the border, fill out a form, and give them $25 bucks. Once in awhile they'll come out and actually look at the gun. At the smaller crossings, mostly you just go inside, do the paperwork, and walk out. At the bigger crossings like Windsor they usually come out and look at them. The permit is good for 60 days. Some years, when I hunt over there a lot, I have to buy the damn thing three times.
If you're taking the gun out of the country for the first time you have to stop on the American side and get a little form. Essentially they're checking to see if the serial number is listed as stolen, that's the only reason for it. There's no charge and once you've got one it's good as long as you still own the gun.
