I've briefly looked into getting animals from the states. Its very long and costly process from what I've gathered. Maybe someone with more experience will chime in on exactly what has to be done and what type of costs your looking at.

IMO It seems Canada is more of a sellers market, the US is more of a buyers markets.

Some animals in Canada, you can get for half the price in the states. But that doesn't make it cheap to bring them here.
