There are some things to watch out for when importing the airsofts. Customs may/will consider them a replica and seize them if they do not meet certain criteria. I believe that the RCMP recently determined that 368 feet per second is the requirement to cause bodily harm (apparently they tested against a pig's eye....poor pig). So if you are above that level, you are ok. But if you are under, then it's a replica and prohibited from importation.

As well, if you have a replica that does not meet that threshold, it has to be locked up when at home, and transported as if it is a restricted firearm. It also cannot be sold, given or bartered to anyone who does not have the license to acquire them (mostly movie prop houses.)
