cross7fu said:hi guys, I was super busy last week and didn't get a chance to tell u what CFIA answered me.
anyways, what I've got from them is if I want to import a turtle from my country to Canada as a pet,
I need to bring it with me in person, and I need an import permit, which I need to apply 30 days before
me and my turtle arrive.
So from my understanding we can bring turtles to Canada based on these two conditions, and of course
if the turtle is in CITES list we need to apply for an CITES permit as well.

but i'm officially really frustrated that i have been unsuccessful with getting any good leads that will get me a tortoise in BC, Canada. how disappointing..... RES are out and about swimming amongst the potentially salmonella-tainted water, so how is that any different than a cute little tortoise...
Canada is a great country..... but some of their rules/regulations just don't make sense. the closest way that i can get my hands on one is to smuggle it through the US border.... but imagine the consequences.... sigh....

What a wonderful government you have up there. So nice of them to protect all you ignorant Canadians from the scourge of tortoise born salmonella. Its a wonder that any of us are even still alive down here. What would you all do up there without your omnipotent government to look out for you?
