chicken and dairy products into Canada
I see that they have restricted chicken products into Canada unless the chicken is cooked. No eggs or egg based products. I can understand that but I have some questions about specific items though....

This is from an earlier thread on the poultry ban. It lists specific states from which poultry products are banned.

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) has been discovered in the USA, most recently in Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin. The CFIA advisory to travellers has been updated to reflect this information.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has implemented measures to protect Canada's poultry resources from an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza reported in poultry in the following states:
•Arkansas
•California
•Idaho
•Indiana
•Iowa
•Kansas
•Minnesota
•Missouri
•Montana
•Nebraska
•North Dakota
•Oregon
•South Dakota
•Washington
•Wisconsin
Travellers should know that, due to this outbreak, all raw poultry and all poultry products and by-products that are not fully cooked, including eggs and raw pet foods, sourced, processed, or packaged from the above states are under restriction until further notice. You may not bring these items into Canada.
These measures are a normal part of Canada's animal disease control efforts and are consistent with international guidelines on trade.
Examples of restricted items include:
•live birds and hatching eggs
•eggs, yolks, egg whites (albumen)
•poultry meat (other than fully cooked, canned, commercially sterile meat products)
•raw pet foods containing poultry products
•feathers
•poultry manure and litter
•laboratory material containing poultry products/by-products
