The standard rule is unloaded, secure locking device and locked in a hard case. You sign a declaration stating that it is unloaded and it goes through the oversize luggage station (maybe not handguns). You are allowed 11lbs of commercial ammunition as part of your checked luggage, has to be in the original packaging.
Rules for having them checked are exactly the same for non-restricted and restricted.

I suppose, but I never said it was impossible to bring a hand gun into Canada. I said there were very few reasons it would be allowed and I doubt any would apply to this guy.
Edit to your edit: I know it's not only a competition that would allow it, but if it isn't a valid reason it won't be let across (hand guns). It's much easier to bring a rifle or shot gun over for hunting, but that isn't what we are talking about. I doubt if you showed up at the border with your hand gun properly stored and with the correct paper work that you would be allowed to bring it with the reason that you want to hit up a gun range while you're here.
