    Day 1 starts when you land. So if you land on Monday, that is counted as Day 1 of your 14days. Once the 14th day is completed at mid-night, your quarantine officially ends.

    Rumors about an executive order that bans the entry H1b holders around.

    Sorry I have no idea regarding entry into Canada on a student visa/study permit. So I am not sure what the CBSA personnel will be looking for to grant you entry.
