I was planning to book a flight to Vancouver since that is where my mom and sister is. However my school is in Toronto. But since school starts in January. I wanted to spend time with them before i go to Toronto. Would that be a problem when i arrive and asked by immigration? Please help.

How early are you planning to travel since your classes start in January?

Also each province has their own rules, so you might have to quarantine again for 14 days when you reach Toronto

First week of december my latest probably will be on Dec 10. I would probably stay there spend xmas with them then go to Toronto. But scared that i might encounter some issues in the immigration.

Your travel might be considered discreditory. It's best to land in Vancouver and quarantine there, and travel to see your friends afterwards

Not really given arriving Dec 10 have to quarantine through Dec 24 where cannot go anywhere and then into the Christmas holidays when difficult to get anything sorted out , accommodation and so on so once that finished its already January

A month before generally should not be an issue given main concern is being able to support self financially without working. However with the mandatory quarantine and the christmas holidays then suspect a bit more discretion may be exercised by CBSA.

by traveling to your mom and sister you are putting them under quarantine. My prof told that when his daughter returned from Oxford their entire house was quarantined and they (not the daughter) were only allowed to go grocery shopping once a week. Think it over, this is not worth the risk of being denied boarding or making your relatives stay at home mandatory
