Canada - cooked chicken from abroad for personal consumption

You can search the AIRS system (this is the actual system used by customs agents to perform the initial assessment, I was told this by a customs agent at Pearson).

In your case, select the right codes (e.g. 02 Meat, then 07 Poultry, then 13 Gallus Domesticus, then 5195 Chicken, then 11 Fillets) - or whatever it is, I don't think the exact classification matters much for personal consumption, it matters more for calculating customs duty on large commercial shipments - then select the country of origin, then select Travellers and Personal use, and see the results. I just tried it with a few countries and got "Refuse Entry" as a result, but please play around with the codes (I think the codes I chose may refer to raw chicken and not cooked, I don't have time to look in detail) and try with your own country. If you find the right page and it approves entry, print it out for an easier time with customs.

Update: Try also 16 (Preparations of meat) -> 02 (Other) -> 32 (Poultry) -> Chicken -> ...
