Yes, as long as you both register together on Arrivecan and fillup the same Declaration form( distributed by the flight crew) for both individuals and have booked 3 days hotel (double occupancy) then you can stay together.

Okay, Thanks a lot for the information

Hey Nevya, you are welcome. I just had conversation with my friend who is staying in Crowne Plaza and he paid for his stay using the FOREX CARD. So in case you want to pay using forex card then you can go for Crowne Plaza.

If she is not transiting through the US but landing in the US, you will need to find out about US covid rules. Go to US immigration. Assume she has a US visitor visa. If she lands in Buffalo to cross by land, she will need to do a COVID test in the US before crossing. So one before she leaves her home country, follow US rules, Covid test in the US and then cross the border. If she needs to wait for tests, she will need to book a hotel in Buffalo and wait for the results. When crossing by land border, she doesn't have to hotel quarantine but that can always change. Assume you are PR too.

Here are rules for crossing by land.

@Naturgrl, and other members in the know, I need your help regarding two important questions :

(1) Can I apply for a SIN while still being outside of Canada? I have a house address already in Canada, and a USA number( plan to get a Canadian number on the day of landing). I guess it(SIN) could be applied for online. How feasible is this. The reason I'm considering getting a SIN before landing is that I don't want to lose a Graduate Assistantship opportunity which expires on May 3 if I don't have a SIN.
Again, how soon would it be made available after an application has been submitted?

(2) I would like to get clarity as regard the total number of hours international students could work . I understand international students should not work more than 20hrs for an off campus employment. So, is it possible to work off campus for 20hrs and still take up on campus job?
Your responses would be appreciated.

Hi Mudassir, you can make the reservation online by visiting the respective hotel's website and filling up the details required. Holidays inn AND Fairfield Inn (YYZ) has the lowest per day rate but their is not much difference because almost all the GAA approved hotels has same rates.

@Prabhat Singh ok bro, Thanks a lot. In which airlines did you travel and what were the questions asked at the immigration counter. Do we have to pay for the covid test or is it free ?

For your question number 2:

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...rary-residents/study-permits/campus-work.html

Working on campus in addition to working off campus
There are no restrictions on the number of hours students can work on campus [as per R186(f)] in addition to working off campus, provided they continue to meet the applicable eligibility requirements.

Guys what are your views on this,is hotel quarantine going to become free for those who declare they cannot afford it??

Hi, I asked the hotel staff at Sheraton and they specifically said to use international Credit/Debit card only. Hence do not use your forex card. Rest you can call and confirm from your particular hotel since mode of payments might differ from hotel to hotel.

Hi Prahabat how many days did you have to stay and do they have veggie options? How as your experience and internet?

Thanks

The issue is if you say cant afford it they send you to even worse facility.

I.m wondering if you can just do a credit card chargeback
