I just shipped a pup yesterday . Its really not bad at all I used continental here is the info I received:If a dog is not accompanied by its owner (is being shipped by itself) and is less than 8 months of age, it will need a detailed health certificate, in English or French, that bears the signature of the veterinarian and that clearly identifies the dog and states:
- that the veterinarian has examined the dog and is satisfied that the dog is not less than eight (8) weeks of age at the time of examination, - is free of any clinical evidence of disease, - was vaccinated not earlier than at six (6) weeks of age for distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus and parainfluenza virus, - can be transported to Canada without undue suffering by reason of infirmity, illness, injury, fatigue or any other cause, - the date on which the dog was vaccinated, that the vaccine was licensed by the country of origin of the dog, and the trade name and serial number of the vaccine, and - is imported into Canada not more than seventy-two (72) hours after the time of the examination. Dogs over the age of 3 calendar months require a valid rabies vaccination certificate. The new owners will need to contact Canada Border Services Agency to determine how much you have to pay for duty and taxes for purchasing a dog. In Canada, the telephone number is 1-800-461-9999. If you are calling from outside Canada, please telephone either 204-983-3500 or 506-636-5064 (long distance charges apply), or visit the Canada Border Services Agency website http://cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/menu-eng.html For information purposes only, they would require an import permit for a pet dog, only if the dog is under 8 months of age and it is deemed as being used for commercial purposes and/or breeding purposes. Please note that they would apply for an import permit in advance of the dog(s)’ arrival to Canada. It takes approximately 5 business days to process import requests and import permits cannot be granted after the dog(s) have arrived in Canada.
