Ya darn, just got a reply from Environment Canada that there is no import paperwork required for CITES Appendix II listed species, but an export permit from USA, which is $100 USD for the exporter. Thought it seemed to easy to be true, still figuring it all out only 6 months in! Thanks for the replies
