This information is not accurate. I didn't find where they say that it has been implemented already - but in the next coming up weeks.

I didn't say it's already implemented, the question was more about the transfer than about the timeline.

I saw it on news.

"The new restrictions will include scheduled commercial passenger flights arriving from the United States, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and South America, which were exempted from the previous restriction."

Ones who booked indirect flights are at more risk now. Restrictions may extended at any time not only because of the Canadian government but due to emergence of new COVID-19 hot spots.

What do you mean by indirect flights? Can you please explain

It clearly says connecting flight travellers are exempt in the above source.

Germany also?

And what about if we have an international flight to Canada, end destination BC w/ connection in TO? - There is no flight directly to Van, sadly.
BC haven't start with the new measures yet, while Ontario has. So how is it going to be? Will one have to stay the 3 days there?
I'm waiting to receive an official confirmation about it... but I guess it's still confusing for everybody.

First landing should be in one of the four destined Airports : Toronto, Calgary, Montreal & Vancouver.
Germany is not banned by Canada. What I meant was taking such stops is risky due to COVID-19 times. More risk of getting stranded if a COVID-19 hot spot/rule change emerges at Frankfurt.

Right. But what about the test and 3 days hotel when you have a connection in Canada?

These full details for the 3 day quarantine haven't been published yet. So we don't know.
