Bringing a pet to Canada: import rules
Canada's biggest pet relocation endpoints are Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal, academic moves, immigration, and tech-sector relocations dominating the flow. CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) sets dog and cat import rules, with rabies vaccination and an import permit/declaration typically required. The framework is structured but workable, with relatively short prep windows compared with Australia or Japan.
