When are you arriving? I'll be going this March, with 1 dog in the cargo. Should you be later than March, personal message me after that and I'll share my experience with you.

I'm confused. Your topic subject said moving from Canada to PH, while your post said moving from PH to Canada. I think the experience and procedure would be different. Are you going to do it yourself or hire a company?

The process of bringing animals is fairly complicated. Make sue you plan lots of lee time.

Your animals will need their own passports (document with vaccination records). Some vaccinations also have minimum gestation periods (several months with additional vet checks and signatures) before animals are permitted into Canada. You may also have to go to specific state vets or specifically certified vets.

Transportation is also somewhat complicated and very expensive. If you need to ship your animals by plane, in the hold, make sure that the plane you are sending them has a heated hold. Not all holds are and obviously you do not want your animals to freeze (Canada being pretty cold)

There are often some travel agencies that specialize in moving animals. Might be worth exploring that option if you are concerned.

To make sure you are compliant I suggest you look at this https://travel.gc.ca/returning/customs/bringing-your-pet-to-canada

Good luck, this is complicated and expenses. Hope you succeed

If you are flying with them, the day before your flight, you probably would have to reconfirm with the airlines that you would be traveling with them. Like NetMecca said, the process is complicated but doable.

Does the booklet of vaccination with the vet count, or is this an entirely separate thing?

Your vet should be able to answer that question with a little research, alternatively I would suggest you have a look at the Canada border services website.

It's your choice of word "passport" that threw me off, as I've already read those links extensively before, and that word implies it is a special travel document, rather than the usual vaccination certificates that can be retrieved from the vet.

From what I've understood, for the Philippines, one has to get an import certificate from the Bureau of Animal Industry, in addition to the rabies vaccination certificate. I've read other links that CBSA doesn't necessarily look for this for domesticated cats/dogs, but I figured better to get that to be safe.

Sorry about that. Language issue I guess. Although mine was called a pet passport

Rather safe than sorry is the best approach. Especially where you pets are concerned.

Good luck
