The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has been experiencing intermittent disruptions lately.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and thank you for your cooperation.
All animals entering Canada must meet import requirements, adding domestic and non-traditional animals. Import situations could possibly come with testing and quarantine before entering Canada.
Non-traditional pets such as pigs, sheep, goats and poultry (including, but not limited to ducks and pigeons) constitute the same point of threat of animal disease as livestock and must therefore meet the same import requirements.
The CFIA would possibly refuse access to any animal imported into Canada.
Import and pet needs apply:

If the animal you need to import is listed, refer to the Automated Import Reference System (AIRS).
If you want a permit to import your pet, apply online through My CFIA.
