Canadian Travel and Immigration for Pets
Your Family Pets
If you are bringing your pets with you, you will have to have medical documents showing that the animals are healthy, and follow certain procedures while crossing the border. Please keep in mind, all documents for your animals have to be in English or French.
1 Cats and Dogs
If you are bringing kittens or puppies under 3 months old, you don't have to show medical documents for them. For all cats and dogs older than 3 months, you'll have to prove that they don't have rabies.
If you are coming from a country recognized as rabies-free (that is, a country in which there hasn't been a case of rabies for some time), you have to get a document from a veterinarian who works for a government veterinary service in your country, stating that there has been no cases of rabies in your country for at least 6 months, and that your cats or dogs have been in the country that whole time. Currently, countries recognized by the government of Canada as rabies-free are:
Antigua
Australia
Bahamas
Barbados
Bermuda
Cayman Islands
Fiji
Finland
Iceland
Ireland (Republic of)
Jamaica
Japan
New Zealand
Norway
