I asked myself the same question a while back and found a Customs bulletin that went one step further. Weld the follower to the feed lips and reduce the capacity to zero. Don't call it a machine gun magazine whatever you do. There are rules about importing machine gun parts.

By deactivating it, the border guards, who are only looking out for the best interests of all Canadians, don't have to make a judgement on whether it holds 1, 2, 5 or 10 shots. They default to the RCMP forensics labs which are overworked, and just as likely to throw your mag in the shredder bin and deny its importation. When you get to Canada, take the "magazine-like lump" to a gunsmith and have him modify it as you need.
