No, they asked for my health card number on the application and didn't charge us in person

Yes, well apparently the first night there were so few people, they were able to control it and then they stopped. It's great for Canadians, they can return and bypass, unfortunately not great for anyone else like students on visas, they can't jeopardize themselves.

Yes, you cannot book online, you can only book by calling. I booked my reservations less than 24 hours before my departure.

The Public Health workers were not allowed to tell me where the hotels were or what the costs were. I started to ask them why I had to book on the phone if you could book in the airport, and they said, "trust us, you made the right choice, the line is long, the hotels are not near here, and the...

No one can leave that easily. Once you leave the testing, about every 10 meters is a person who will ask to see the quarantine test sticker on the back of your passport. We saw 5 people btwn the test site and the train to the hotel. No, all the hotels have different costs. When you call, they...

I booked it before landing. You can book at the airport, will be a long line and most likely not be one of the hotels at the airport.

They let us walk through the airport un-escorted, there are many checkpoints where they look for a quarantine sticker on the back of your passport to make sure you are allowed to walk through. No escort on the train.

It took 11 hours in the cue. Had to call 3 times, each time it drops after 3 hours. My fist time I did it with one phone, the next round with 3 phones, the last round with 2 phones. They answered at 9pm, my guess is people give up towards the end of the day. They will allow you to book once you...

** UPDATES ** Arrived last night, Feb 22 at 8:30pm. Toronto. The airport was empty. About 35 people on my flight in from Chicago. In Chicago, United Airlines did a poll of who had booked a room, only about half had. They announced that if you had not booked a room, Public Health will help you...

I booked the Shearton and you can walk to it, it is at the terminal. They will allow you to take a shuttle as well if you don't want to walk. That is what they told me on the call tonight.

Where do you want me to post pictures? go to my IG account, BLACKrabbitqueen, you can see the phone logs and the amount of time spent, I screen grabbed all of the hours I spent and posted. Or are you asking to see my actual proof of successfully getting a room?? Give me your email and I will...

After 11 hours of trying, I got through. I lined up 3 mobile phones and each phone called 3 hours it would end the call and we would start over. Stick with it, even if the music stops or that message of having your flight number, dates of birth etc, even if you don't hear it, keep on it...

I am in the same boat. I arrive tomorrow, what are they going to do? Put me on a plane back? They have 5 hotels in Toronto for 6.5M population and once those 5 fill, does it mean that there are no more rooms for 14 days?

I am screen grabbing the calls for this purpose. I was on hold 3.5 hours and call ended. Now I am on 3 phones and it's been nearly 2 hours.

Thank you.
