Roland,
If what you say is true..........you are making the C.B.P.A. sound
like a Canadian Gestapo.........i ask you which sane-minded goan is
anxious to import anything unhygenic / disease causing product to this
fair country. Thank you for your advance warning anyway.

Canada Border Protection Agency are very strict about bringing in ANY
animal or plant products (no exceptions) into Canada in any form including
cured, cooked, vacuum packed or even canned.
If you answer 'yes' to the disembarking card question, they will
confiscate it. If you declare as not caring any if these, their sniffer
dogs will suss it out and besides confiscating, they will fine or can even
deny entry to tourists.
Gone are the days of bringing any foodstuff in from Goa and it's all for
the better considering the poor state of product and hygiene there.
Some Asians (including Indians) however persist in trying. For them
there's a black mark with mandatory (rather than random) inspection of
their baggage every time they enter for the next 6 years.
Roland.

Jim, a year
or so back, Jet Airways had banned cured meats in the check-in baggage. So
Goans who carried sausages were offloaded of their sausages.
