I'm moving to Nicaragua in 4 weeks, I can't wait, very excited! I think I have everything planned, I'm very nearly ready to go but I still have a couple questions about bringing my cats. I feel a little guilty bringing them, it'll be stressful and possibly dangerous for them but I can't find a good home for them here and I can't give them to just anyone. They're part of my family. I'll keep them as safe as I possibly can. My biggest question is, can I bring them with me if I don't have residency status? I had planned on going as a visitor until I make any final decisions about when or if I apply for residency. I'll likely be investing in a business and will be eligible for residency but that will be at least a few months in the future. Can I still bring my pets? If anyone has any information I would really appreciate hearing it. Canada doesn't have a Nicaraguan embassy so do I still have to get the embassy stamped paperwork done? I have read of people not doing it and getting through customs fine. I would have to get the paperwork to an embassy in the US and back to me in time (10 days) and still keep everything in line with my flight/travel plans. Could be tough.
