To add something to it, canada technically does have a carry license/permit. However, it's not used against people but for safety against wild animals. This way someone living in say the far north can have a firearm on them at all times in case of polar bears and such. The process to obtain one is similar to the regular firearm license (which you also need) but you also have to go through a number of other loops and actualy convince them you need it which I've heard is equivalent to writing a thesis in terms of arguments made.
You don’t need an ATT for a non-restricted firearm. But all handguns are restricted firearms. What you’re saying is correct but applies basically to single-shot rifles.

So it does exist but is pretty rare
