The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is the Animal Quarantine Authority for the entry of dogs to Canada.
For Canada you only need to read the Travel Rules for Assistance Dogs.

Surprising as this seems, an Assistance Dog is ‘exempted from all import requirements provided that:
- it is accompanied by the person to whom the dog is assigned; and
- documentation is presented to support that the animal is certified as a service animal by a recognized organization.’
TravelPaws still recommends that you travel with proof of your dog's up to date Rabies vaccination.

Be prepared
- Confirm any specific requirements with all Animal Quarantine Authorities before booking your trip. This includes both entering/leaving any country and all airline/cruise line requirements.
