Cat 3 months or older at arrival: certificate signed by a licensed veterinarian (English or French) identifying the cat (age, breed, sex, colour/markings, weight, microchip/tattoo if any) and showing it is currently vaccinated against rabies, with vaccination date, vaccine trade name and serial number and duration of immunity (1 year if not stated). The cat must have been at least 3 months old when vaccinated. No waiting period after vaccination is stated. An EU pet passport is accepted if complete.

Declare the pet to CBSA on arrival and present it with all documents at the first port of entry. Undeclared animals, including family pets, can be refused entry, confiscated or detained.

CBSA officers check the documents (rabies certificate valid, description matches the animal) and look at the pet. A healthy pet with correct papers that was transported humanely is released without the CFIA. A sick animal or a humane-transport problem is referred to a CFIA veterinarian (extra CFIA fees). A pet without a valid rabies certificate gets a Notice to Vaccinate: vaccinate within the deadline given (at most 14 days) and send proof to the CFIA; otherwise the CFIA typically orders the animal removed from Canada. Carry paper originals.
