FAQ
Common questions
CFIA's ban covers commercial dogs, not personal pet dogs, and a personal pet dog from Bangladesh follows the same rules as a dog from any other country not free of rabies. CFIA said in June 2022 that it would explore stronger requirements for personal pet dogs from these countries, so check its current pet import tool shortly before you travel.
Bangladesh is not on CFIA's list of countries free from rabies, so a cat from Bangladesh cannot use the six-month residence route. Instead a cat aged 3 months or older needs a vet's certificate in English or French showing current rabies vaccination, or a rabies antibody test result of at least 0.5 IU/ml.
Biman lists Toronto among its Dhaka destinations. It carries dogs and cats only in the aircraft hold, as accompanied baggage or shipped cargo, so there is no cabin place for a pet.
From 18 December to 4 January Air Canada accepts no pets as checked baggage or cargo. In summer it may not be able to take a pet in the baggage compartment when temperatures exceed 29.5°C (85°F).
Air Canada's published charge is CA/US $50 to $60 one way for a pet in the cabin and CA/US $105 to $126 one way in the baggage compartment. Prices change with your pet's size and crate, the airline and routing, the season, fuel surcharges and exchange rates.
