Yes you can, its complicated thats why, but its possible. Both BFL as well as clear reciever currently has proven you could import it. But for a new player yes don't order outside of Canada.

In simply put based on the appeals
technically you could win IF the following were followed:
*Velocity of the airsoft gun is: 130m/s (.2g) or 124m/s (.22g aka the RCMP finding)
*It is not considered as a variant of the prohibition or restricted orders (M4/M16, AK, SPAS, AUG, M3, G3, MP5 all the goodies made between 1947-1980s)
*It is SEMI AUTOMATIC (why? because one could argue that since its a firearm, a fully automatic capability is considered part of the prohibition order)
*The barrel length (Im guess outer barrel) and the overall length (after stuff retracted/ fold eg, stock) is followed.
So in simply put what can really stand a chance? Probably Airsoft Sniper Rifle (oxymoron I know)
Would I go through the hassles? No why? because Im not angry at the CBSA, I'm angry at the Order in Council (the ones made airsoft prohibited in the first place) as well as Liberal party who created the order in Council. Second, the lawyer fees would be pointless. True if you're a retailer and want to get stuff in perhaps you might want to do it, but I would watch the court scene with popcorns.
