Can I bring Swiss cheese into Canada?

First, you must declare all food, even food that is allowed.

Second, according to the CFIA web site you may bring:

cheese: up to 20 kilograms per person

You may not bring:

milk, milk products (whey, cream, skim milk, butter oil, and so on) dried, frozen, reconstituted, or fresh

Note they do not distinguish among cheese types as you have done – it’s all allowed. (I personally suspect raw cheese might be an issue but the web site doesn’t say so. Obviously being in sealed, professionally-labelled packages helps.) A friend brought rather a lot of fondue mix home from a Swiss trip and I presume she declared it. She was able to bring it in without issues.
