It is not Customs that you have to satisfy but the Dept of Foreign Affairs and International Trade who control the import and export of military goods. Customs (or CBSA as they are now known) take their lead from the DFAIT Import Permit.
When I was there I took the stance that individuals would have to deface the chamber by enlarging it, deface the breech face and insert a sleeve in the barrel.
For museums, I would demand only the sleeve which would still allow them to fire blanks.
Call Paul at 613-944-0470 for current policies. There is an Import Permit requirement but this is only $16.00. If you don't have the permit, approved by Paul at DFAIT, then your goods could be seized or held in (expensive) storage until you do.
Hint - use a customs broker. It's cheaper in the long run.
