You CAN buy a firearm in the US and import it, but the time and hassle to complete the process is rarely worth it.
You have to show your license in which the ffl then validates with CFO.
CFO then runs the firearm through the FRT.
You then purchase the firearm
The FFL then has to submit the transfer to CFO.
Once approved the FFL ships the firearm to the US border.
You then have to file all kinds of import paperwork.
USBS then transfers the firearm to CBS.
CBS calls you to say your firearm is ready to receive.
Show up to border, pay taxes and duties.
Obtain an ATT (yes still at the border)
Then receive it from CBS and bring it home.
Last time I was at the Buffalo gun center the guy at the counter told me their last US to CDN transfer took almost 6 months from start to finish of the process.
