Guinea pigs can travel from the US to Canada freely. They can be imported into Canada without an import permit, health certificate, or inspection.
Karen sent me an email with a link to the Gov't of Canada website concerning Importation of Rodents.

Wow. Even humans need passports. Who knew guinea pigs enjoyed diplomatic status? Can they speed through red lights without getting tickets, too?

I found this information on the US Customs and Border Protection website.
Scroll down the website and click on the Pets and Wildlife link. It opens a PDF file. Guinea Pigs are on page 6 of the pamphlet.

Thanks! The pdf in question says:
Rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, and other pet rodents
There are no CDC or USFWS restrictions or requirements on these animals if brought in as pets.
