It's hard to say for certain if you will be allowed on the flight. Right now the border is closed to all but essential travel so you will need to prove you are traveling for essential reasons. We've seen some people have no issues boarding flights while others had problems. If you don't have a job in Canada already lined up, they may say your travel is not essential and refuse boarding. Again, really impossible for any of us to say.

Yes - you will have to isolate for 14 days. Yes - you can do this in a hotel.

If you don't have a plan to self isolate on arrival, they will put you in government assigned hotels /spots. All this provided you can even fly with work permit. Didn't they announce a while back that only Citizens and PRs can fly into Canada and that too only when they don't have any symptoms?

Looks like travel via land might be an option in the worst case. Good luck and welcome to Canada.

Check (Canada-U.S. border restrictions).
