Hey,

Full information is available here:
http://www.inspection.gc.ca/food/information-for-consumers/travellers/what-can-i-bring-into-canada-/eng/1389648337546/1389648516990

An excerpt from the meat section:
> A maximum of 20 kg of commercially prepared, sterile, shelf-stable
> (i.e. safe at room temperature) meat in sealed, impermeable packaging
> may be imported per person. Fresh meat is not permitted. If the meat
> is of bovine, ovine, or caprine origin (beef, lamb/mutton, or goat)
> it may only be imported from countries of negligible risk for Bovine
> Spongiform Encephalopathy (mad cow disease).
