The legality of handguns in Canada is a bit of a sticky issue to begin with. They're harder to get a hold of than rifles, and moving them is a pain in the ass.
It's not legal to carry any sort of handgun in Canada under general circumstances. You need a special permit for transport, and another one to carry (which is very difficult to get, but operates similar to a CCW).
If you jump through all the necessary hoops owning a handgun powerful enough to kill a bear is legal, but actually having it in any situation where you're likely to encounter a bear probably isn't.
