The days when you could call up a US supplier out of the blue and order 
queens are a "very" distant memory.

It is highly unlikely that your potential supplier will want to go 
through the required testing and certification at his end for a few 
queens.  Import permits when issued, have about four (4) pages of 
conditions attached.  Depending on his location, it may be physically 
impossible for the supplier to meet some of them.  Since your potential 
supplier has no history of shipping to Canada, CFIA isn't likely to even 
issue your import permit without further demonstration that he is 
attempting to, and will likely meet the protocols.  If you email me 
privately, I can fax you a copy and you can see what is required of your 
guy. When he sees what is needed of him in order to get an export 
certificate from the US Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service 
(APHIS), he will likely stop taking your calls.

 >How exactly does one determine where they will be entering the country?
  Under Port of Entry type in "All regulated ports."
