Buying Ammunition Online in Canada: Rules and Shipping

Yes, you can buy ammunition online in Canada — if you're licensed. Here's how licence verification, calibres, and shipping actually work.

Buying ammunition online is legal and convenient in Canada, but it isn't unrestricted. The single most important rule: you must hold a valid firearms licence to purchase ammunition.

Licence Verification

A valid PAL or RPAL is required to buy ammunition. At OneTactics, your licence is verified before any ammunition order is released for shipping. This protects you and keeps every sale compliant with the Firearms Act.

Calibres and Availability

We stock common rimfire, centerfire, and shotshell calibres. Availability changes with supply, so check the Ammunition category for current stock before planning a big range day.

Shipping Considerations

Ammunition is packaged and shipped in accordance with carrier and Firearms Act requirements. That sometimes means it travels separately from firearms in your order. Provincial and municipal rules may also affect quantities or destinations, and any applicable limits appear at checkout.

Key Takeaways

  • A valid firearms licence is required to buy ammunition in Canada
  • Licence verification happens before your order ships
  • Calibre availability changes with supply
  • Carrier and local rules can affect quantities and shipping
