Completely agreed.. of course though you are going for good or temporary, that 14 days quarantine would be as is and compulsory!Just to repeat that JYYDE did soft land but for 3 weeks so planned to include the 14 day mandatory isolation. So keep that in mind given planning to soft land and not obey or plan for the 14 day isolation would be an irresponsible action to your new country regardless of symptoms or not. Also be aware if arriving with symptoms only citizens and PRs would be allowed entry anyone else including not yet landed PRs would/ could be denied entry.
We can all speculate about soft landings but this is all about doing the right thing .
Hello Everyone, regarding the new rule where you have to give a credible quarantine plan. How do I land in Canada with a COPR and travel to an airbnb or shared rent place if I don't have a private vehicle?
Great.I feel all countries will follow same policy.So basically Indians will have to wait till lock down is over and their office starts working.
Guys war like conditions are developing between America and China.I just hope it doesn't happen.If there is a war all things will come to a stand still.Other distructions are inevitable too.I just hope all goes well and we are able to land in Canada.Needless to say a war would bring more destruction than corona....
but calls to ircc was not available until recently, when they restored it?
No all service Canada offices are temporarily closed.
What is this government quarantine?There was some talk about the government providing transportation for people in this situation. I believe it will be the same transportation used for those being sent to government quarantine. You would need to confirm that this is in place.
Did anyone get an answer regarding expired COPR.
Temporary foreign workers, some international students and approved permanent residents who haven’t yet landed are now able to enter Canada.What is this government quarantine?
What is this government quarantine?
Can a first time lander like me qualify for this? Or is this only for those returning back from travelling?Those who can’t prove that they have an adequate quarantine plan will be put into government run quarantine. Assume it is a hotel in the 4 cities (TO, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver).
Thank youThere was some talk about the government providing transportation for people in this situation. I believe it will be the same transportation used for those being sent to government quarantine. You would need to confirm that this is in place.
Hi guys
I got the following reply from the IRCC Singapore. I am from Bangladesh, but my passport was stamped there. I assumed that means that they are my visa office, which is why emailed them.

I also raised a webform to IRCC yesterday - no reply yet. I did not add my confirmed flight tickets, which I had to cancel due to the travel ban. Should I raise another one and add it as well?
Thank!!Temporary foreign workers, some international students and approved permanent residents who haven’t yet landed are now able to enter Canada.
The travel restriction exemptions that were announced are now in place. If you’re exempt, you can now travel to Canada.
If you’re travelling by air, you need to pass a health check conducted by airlines before you’re allowed to board your flight. Anyone who shows symptoms of COVID-19 will not be allowed to enter Canada by air.
When you arrive in Canada, we’ll assess your health before you leave the port of entry. You must have a plan to quarantine for 14 days when you arrive in Canada. This is mandatory, even if you have no symptoms. If you don’t have a plan, you’ll be quarantined in a facility designated by the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada.
Only people who provide essential services, for example truck drivers who regularly cross the border to maintain the flow of goods, are exempt from the quarantine requirements.
