Shipping Handguns

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone’s had experience with a similar situation to mine and can share some info. I called the CFO and he said to ask the guys at the CFP, after calling them they said it’s a CFO issue and now I can’t get through to the CFO again so I figured in the meantime I’d ask here. I’m from Ontario, I have a handgun registered to an address here but I recently got a job in Calgary starting in March. I don’t have a solid address there yet and would be doing some apartment hunting when I get there. Right now it looks like I’d be getting an Airbnb for about a month till I find something more solid. I plan on shipping my guns to myself through Canada post and driving through the states as I have some business to conduct in Montana on the way. My question is whether I need separate ATTs to go to the post office and then to my temporary address or if I can get an ATT to the new address then just send it through Canada post? Any help or advice is welcome, thanks in advance.

ATT to post office then pick up at post office and take home if your not at your new home that day to sign for it No ATT to pick up from post office is needed.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Canada Post rules want you to set up a free small business account, then have it picked up from your house. No ATT needed.

And pickup on the other end is just a package, so again, no ATT needed.

Yup, I assumed he knew he needed the account. Takes 5 minutes online to setup. Home pickups are not available to all customers of Canada post.
