My understanding is no wood of any kind including sawed, treated, etc. can be taken into Canada.
About 4 years ago at the Port Townsend, WA ferry I asked as I had a small amount of cut lumber. An employee said no lumber of any kind and I could put mine next to the building.

Several years ago we bought a wheelbarrow full from a kid on Vancouver Island. He and his dad had bought and cut the wood and he was working to repay his dad and then make a profit. What a great way to learn. :B
