Pet relocation from Pakistan to Canada
The lightest rules of any Western destination — often the cheapest way to fly a pet west.
What Canada requires from Pakistan
Pakistan is treated as a high-risk rabies country by most Western destinations, so the checklist below is stricter than what pets from Europe or the Gulf face. Order matters — several steps are invalid if done out of sequence.
- Valid rabies vaccination certificate (English or French)
- Airline health documentation and fit-to-fly certificate
- NAFSA export paperwork via Pakistan Single Window
- CBSA inspection on arrival
- IATA-compliant crate
Worth knowing: Canadian rules for high-risk-origin animals have tightened recently — we re-verify CFIA requirements on every booking.
What it costs
A cat typically runs $650–$2,250 all-in on this corridor; a dog $900–$3,200 depending on size, airline, and season. That covers the Pakistan-side vet work, permits and export certificate, the IATA crate, the flight, and coordination with clearance on arrival. Your quote is one number — nothing stacked on later.
How we run this corridor
We sequence the paperwork backwards from your travel date: microchip and vaccinations first, the export certificate through the Pakistan Single Window in its narrow validity window, and the airline booking confirmed in writing before you pay. On departure day we handle crate checks and cargo check-in at the airport, and you get updates until the crate opens at the destination.
