Canada is very stubborn when it comes to the entry of food, plant and animal products.

Different food, plant and animal prohibitions are prohibited or restricted because they can have invasive species, external animal diseases and harmful pests and insects.

Things that can be a threat include:

The restriction on what you bring to Canada depends on the type of product, the country of origin and the provincial from Canada you intend to enter. Always check the requirements for importing the food, vegetable and animal you want to bring to Canada in order to take care of the aspects. These restrictions may change every once in a while, so make sure you always check the most up -to -date information on forbidden items to enter Canada.
