From Bacliff, Tx to Ft St John, BC my husband drove the Honda Civic coupe with me and two cats. Took 6 days, stopping each night at a hotel. The cats were in the back seat in carriers big enough to stand and lay in. Towels lined the bottom. They were loose in the hotel room during the night. Not all pet friendly hotels allow cats. Just FYI. Also one hotel had part of the wall under the sink cut out for pipe access. Thank god the cat didn't go in the wall.
We landed yesterday at Sweetgrass, Montana/Coutts, Alberta. It was a USA holiday but no lines at the border.
It was fast and they ignored the cats, didn't look at them or their health/ vaccine records. I had all the import. Export papers and RIV fee done. They did not take my picture even though the picture specifications changed twice since I sent my application in. They didn't look in the car. I filled out one B4 form and they just asked if I was bringing anything later, which I am not.
Now, i had a house in Texas and one week to fly there, go through the house, ship by post office five boxes full of what I wanted, get the cats shots, meet with a realtor, go to the dentist and get on the road to come to Canada. We posted a few items for sale on the homeowners association web page and required pick up from seven to seven thirty that same night. Lol, it worked well. We let a friend have keys to the house for three days and take what the wanted from the house after we left. He then ga e keys to the realtor and she will within three days, have a woman's crisis centre pack and empty the house. They get the contents as a donation. Then a mailed will clean, Sears will shampoo and spot remove the carpet, a photographer will take pics and the house will be on the market.
Posting so others can see how this can be done fast.
Wish you all the best. Thanks for all your help. I gotta go rest now. I will be back on here tomorrow to answer any questions.
