No need to fear Canadians, after all they’re just unarmed Americans with healthcare and manners.
Speaking of armed Canadians- what ARE Canada’s gun laws like?
Lots of annoying jumping through hoops, takes time, takes money. That said, there are plenty of hunters and farmers with guns, rest assured. In an urban area, hand guns and automatic weapons all make things much more difficult. If you want to carry a hand gun in an urban area, you’ll probably have to demonstrate you have a damn good reason beyond, ‘it makes me feel safe.’
Longarms are easy, though there’s a bit of paperwork. Handguns are not easy, and there’s a lot of paperwork.

My grandparents were canucks who became Yanks in the early somethings. 20’s.
I wouldn’t mind being Canadian. I am a knitter. I like hockey but am allergic to bacon. I think I could overcome this disability by drinking beer. As I am from Michigan, I already say, “eh”.
You need an additional permit to posses a handgun, as they are classified as restricted weapons. They have to be registered. You can only possess your handgun at home, at a shooting range, and in transit between those two places.
It is possible to get a permit to carry a handgun for personal protection, but they’re very rare. I think the last time I looked into it, the estimate was that there were only between 100 and 500 personal protection permits in the entire country.
Concealed carry, whether of a handgun or a longarm, is an offence.
As always, not intended as legal advice, but just as a general outline of the law. Anyone who needs legal advice about Canada’s gun laws should consult a lawyer who practices in the area.
Don’t worry, we’ve got both.
For that matter, it is my understanding that claiming you need any sort of gun “for protection” is a good way to pretty much disqualify yourself from ever being allowed to own one.
Or tip off that you’re an American transplant. 
Hey, clockwork - if Canada doesn’t turn out well for you then you can always come to the UK and gay-marry me, if you really get desperate for an exit strategy that is. 
Hahaha! Only if you’re willing to be in an open relationship. 
Sure, suits me. Just as long as whoever you bring home is nice and doesn’t leave a mess on the rug. 
I’m going to take Europe by storm.
