Application / Regulation advice Gun registration Quebec?

Hi, hope everyone is doing well. I just had a question regarding Quebec gun ownership. Let's say I live in Ontario and plan on moving to Quebec with unrestricted firearms. Do I have to register them?

The reason I'm asking is because im seeing a lot of differing opinions online and can't seem to find a very straight answer. Some say you only have to register them if you keep them longer than 2 months in the province? So if every month I go to the range in Ontario, I never have to register them because the "clock" gets reset every time I go?

Some say QC only has a ~25-35% registration rate, so I guess the vast majority of people are "not keeping them for longer than 60 consecutive days in the province"?

If I purchase firearms in the future and send them to my parents' house in ON, then collect them, and every 59 days I bring them across the border in ON, I never have to register them?

Thank you for any insight on this; I appreciate it!

Honestly, it'd just be a lot easier to not move there.

It would be, but you can find 100% inclusive Studios all day, which includes appliances, all utilities, parking, and some landlords even include your own free private Wi-Fi router, for about less than $1200/month (I'm only paying $1000/month).

Conversely in Ontario you can find a rundown shit hole that doesn't include half of the things that is common practice to be included with your average apartment in Outaouais Region of Quebec, and yet you would be paying $1,500+/month as a base point just for rent, never mind utilities.

Now granted, that's my experience between living in Ottawa, Ontario and Gatineau, Quebec, but really, the cost of living in Ontario is so fucked that I rather live in Québec and deal with their retarded gun and language laws than get raped by greedly landlords in Ontario.
