Those are some pretty good suggestions guys. Thanks. I will use them as my starting point.
Oh and I found this from Spoot.

"Canada does not require an import permit or licence in order to import live ornamental fish from another country that will be maintained in aquariums.
Since the importation of ornamental fishes for hobby aquariums or the pet trade is considered to pose a negligible risk to native aquatic fish species, Fisheries and Oceans Canada has no act or regulation to licence the importation of live fish for ornamental use. No official documentation is necessary to clear Canada Customs and the importation of ornamental/hobby fish is not restricted. You may wish to have a copy of this email with you in the event the shipment is challenged by Customs.
You should verify with the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) endangered species list to ensure the international trade in any of the species you wish to import is not restricted. For more information, please see the CITES website at
www.cites.org and Environment Canada's website
http://www.cites.ec.gc.ca/listedecon...List.swOptions.
Please be advised that the release or disposal of live or dead ornamental aquarium fish into wild fish habitat is prohibited in Canada.
Sincerely,

"Importation of Ornamental Fish In general, importations of ornamental aquatic organisms, especially tropical species held in hobby aquaria, are considered to pose a negligible risk of spreading disease(s) to local species. Thus, Canada, like many other countries, does not require special permits for the importation of aquatic organisms for the aquarium hobbyist. There are, however, some exceptions related to other risks posed to aquatic resources and habitat.
All species listed by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) may only be imported if a CITES certificate is obtained. Please see
http://www.cites.org for current listing of species and
http://www.cites.ec.gc.ca for relevant contact information. Hobby species that are genetically modified may be considered as new substances and may require notification under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999). For more information on the New Substances program, please consult the Environment Canada site at
