India to Canada via Maldives - Indirect Route

[bryefly]

Is there any WhatsApp group for people travelling from India to Canada via Maldives?

My Itinerary: India to Maldives -> 3 days stay in Maldives (RTPCR) -> Maldives to Canada (Connecting flights in Abu Dhabi and Paris)

Isn't it cheaper to do a connecting flight via Paris CDG with a transit Visa? I think there is PCR testing at the lounge and this route is far cheaper

I didn't come across Covid Testing facility details at CDG for Airside transit. Didn't want to take that risk. So, opted for a tested route instead. Moreover It would be a like a little vacation at Maldives Island Resort.

In compliance with the scope by authorities in India, travel is not permitted to/from UK and Canada on Air France flights.

I don't think that route is viable?
