Hi there

Does anybody know roughly how long it takes to clear pets through customs?  I'm bringing two cats from Australia with me.  Thanks in advance.

You might want to let people know where you are landing.

Make sure the cats each have valid passports and TRVs or else they might get selected for secondary inspection.

Sorry. Don't mean to be a wiseguy...just couldn't resist. Honestly, I'm not sure.

Yes, and the cats need valid provincial offers of employment in one of the approved CATegories.  

(apologies...)

Here is the required info on all that.

I've never read of anyone having any problems at the border if the paperwork is in order, but I don't have experience with that myself (yet).
