Application / Regulation advice Gun Laws

Question for all the milsurp guys. Wife and I have been kicking around the idea of moving to Canada from the States, most likely the Winnipeg area since she has family there. I have 2 bolt guns and a lever action that I want to take with us if it becomes a reality. Where would I start this process, and is Canadian law goofy when it comes to flash hiders and bayonets? Any help or advice is appreciated!

If you're within 30 minuets of the perimeter, dont buy nice things. Property damage, theft, robberies etc are all on a massive rise here. I live in a relatively nicer area outside the city and regularly we have people from in the city coming out stealing anything they can find off patios etc. RCMP refuse to do anything about it and have told us to just get used to it.

Anywhere in Canada is better than Manitoba, even Brandon isnt as bad as it is here haha. Hope the move goes easily for you! Get ready for 40 degree summers and -40 winters!
