Immigrate to Canada with a pet

One of the concerns of people who are immigrating is bringing a pet to a new country. Pets are a part of the family for many people, and leaving or leaving them will be one of the primary problems of immigration. If you have a pet and you have a question about how you can immigrate with your pet without stress, read this post.

Prerequisites and initial steps

If you can bring your pet to Canada with you, first a series of steps must be taken in the country of origin, and depending on the country of destination, if any special documents are needed, it must be prepared. The basic conditions for a migration permit are as follows:

1. Have a microchip (except for birds)

2. Have a birth certificate and be fully vaccinated

3. He has received a health certificate before the flight

4. Receive Europe rabies headlines (if you have a long stay in Europe or plan to travel to Europe in the future)

flight conditions

After going through the medical procedures and receiving the health certificate from the veterinarian and its approval by the veterinary organization, it is time to go through the flight procedures and prepare the conditions for a long trip for the pet. Pets can fly in the plane in two ways:

1. Your companion in the cabin (the weight of the pet with the box should be less than 8 kilos)

2. Inside the cargo compartment for animals

* Special birds and animals are transported in a special compartment in the cargo.

Airport and flight

In order to carry a pet, the type of pet, weight and dimensions of the box must be announced to the airline when booking the ticket. The shipping fee is paid according to the weight of the pet along with the box calculated as extra.

In order to carry pets, normal carrying boxes cannot be used and approved boxes such as Skudo or Petmate must be used. Some airlines, such as Lufthansa, take care of your pet during transit, give food and water, and clean the box.

Transit and length of flight

If your flight has a transit stop, the PET will not be delivered to you like the rest, and you will receive the PET on your first arrival in the destination country. Considering the length of the journey, if your pet is not used to the box or travel, you can consult your veterinarian to use sedatives with the appropriate dose.

For the length of the journey, be sure to put enough water and food and toilet pads in the box pet. Do not put any extra items in the box and preferably only put the necessary things for the animal in the box.

Destination airport and first days

After reaching the destination, upon arrival, you must declare that you have your pet with you. In the relevant directions, the officer will guide you to the special section to check your pet documents. In this section, the vaccination documents and pet approval certificate are checked and you will pay a fee for entering the pet.

The length of the route, the unfamiliarity of the environment and people, and the travel experience can cause your pet stress and anxiety in the first days, which is completely normal. Treat your pet with patience and you will convey peace to him. In the coming weeks, your pet will gradually get the peace it needs.
