What about my pets? 

We all have pets at home. Moving to another country bring a lot of stress about our animals. Can I bring my pet into Canada?

Yes you can but there are a few things to know ahead of time.

• Book your pet flight ahead of time. Some airlines need more time.
• No special pet passports are needed.
• Canada will not allow your pet into Canada without proper vaccination.
• Vaccinations for Rabies are very important.
• Your vet will also need to give a certificate of health.
• The certificate must indicate pets name, date, color, breed and medical information.
• Your health check must be close to flying date.
• You will need to keep pets information with your flying documents.
• If the animal is flying on a different date then there must be a receiving person with an address.
• When your animals fly with you on your flight, then you need to indicate that on your custom form.
• Most of the time you will claim your pet on the airport at the over sized items platform.
• Your pet needs to see a vet/customs officer on the airport.
• When that is cleared your animal can leave with you.
