Leaving Canada with adderall (medication)
Adderall is a Schedule II controlled substance in the US and equivalent schedules in most other jurisdictions. Personal-use quantities (typically a 30-90 day supply) accompanied by the prescription and doctor's letter are generally permitted for export under Controlled Drugs and Substances Act; Precursor Control Regulations. Above these limits, an Health Canada authorisation for above-schedule quantities is required in advance. Travellers should note that some destination countries (Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, UAE, Saudi Arabia among others) restrict Adderall import even when export is permitted from the origin — always verify the destination-side rules independently.
Declare adderall (medication) at customs on arrival in Canada and carry any documentation specified in the rule. Verify current requirements with Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) before travel.
