Critical points
Canada does not require a titre test for personal companion dogs from Rwanda, which significantly reduces both the cost and the preparation timeline.
Rabies vaccination certificates must be in English or French. If your Rwandan vet issues in Kinyarwanda or another language, arrange a certified translation.
No quarantine applies on arrival in Canada, but the CFIA inspection is mandatory. Missing documentation will delay clearance.
