What this route typically costs
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.

How Canada handles incoming pets
What experienced owners do
Use an official, government-authorised vet for the health certificate, not just your usual clinic. Many destinations only accept certificates signed by an approved vet.
If this is your first international move, consider an IPATA-registered pet transport agent. They handle the documents, airline booking and crate sizing, and can troubleshoot problems.
Get your pet used to the travel crate weeks in advance. A calm, crate-familiar animal travels far better than one meeting the crate for the first time at the airport.
Confirm live animal acceptance on every flight segment before booking. Not all aircraft or connections take pets, and cargo terms can differ leg to leg.
