I start in May as well (if my application is accepted). But I'd recommend to wait and see how the travelling restrictions will be in April. Right now nobody knows exactly how are the testings/quarantines going to work, apparently not even the government.

Right but you still quarantine in your own accommodations after the 3 days.

Why would anybody in the world delay strict testing protocols ? That's absurd.

I have a flight on 11th Feb Air Canada Delhi-Toronto and I am confused whether I should book the Airbnb or not. How do I deal with this guys? Is the 3 day quarantine not even in place yet?

I am not saying that the new restrictions will not start till april, I am saying that they might be discontinued by april. The main purpose of these restrictions is to stop Canadians from taking vacations to other countries for spring break and spring break ends in march!

No. This only stops those who live in cities that are far away from the US-Canada land border. Most people here aren't getting the real reason behind this - it's not to combat COVID, it's to prop-up the hotel industry.

If it was to combat the virus then they would have applied the same rules to land borders as well. But they have no plans to do so:

Its political theater anyway.

The govt admitted the hotel quarantines system won't be ready till 14 Feb at the earliest.

That's not the way to go with their "big immigration plans for 2021-2023".

They are going to heavily pad their numbers by granting work permits and PRs to Hong Kong nationals.

Basically every HK national with a Canadian post-secondary diploma or degree or an equivalent foreign credential that was acquired in the last 5 years can apply for a 3-year open work permit.

Hi Arka, My flight is within a couple of days, and I am in the same state of confusion you have, did you get any additional info? I already have booked a 14 days quarantine plan by the college which will be in a designated hotel. so, seeing such updates really drive me nuts

I've reached safely in my AirBnb. There was no 2000$ or quarantine for me.

Hi buddy, the 3-day-quarantine plan is not in place yet. As of now, if you arrive on 11th February you just need to do your 'normal' 14-day-quarantine. You can check on the government website under "news release". If something changes, it will be up there.

Good luck to you!
