Program for businesses
Over 12,000 prohibited firearms were successfully collected from businesses, before the program closed on April 30, 2025. More than $22 million in compensation has been provided to businesses from across the country. Later this fall, the program will re-open to eligible businesses, allowing them to submit a claim for firearms and devices prohibited in May 2020, December 2024 or March 2025 and select associated parts and components.
Participating in the program is voluntary, however businesses (except those with required registration certificates and specific privileges on their licence), must dispose of or permanently deactivate their assault-style firearms by the end of the amnesty period or risk criminal liability for the illegal possession of a prohibited firearm.
Businesses will be notified when the program re-opens.
Businesses and licensed carriers are responsible for verifying if any provincial laws may impact participation in the program. Contact the appropriate provincial authorities for more information.
