COPR and Travel Restrictions

[hassankm]

hi Hasan

In terms of announcements, as per the Prime Minister, they are not in a hurry to open their borders yet. But there are talks between USA/Can and pressure by the ppl to open up.

And in terms of vaccinations, Canada is ramping up and surpassing a lot of countries in terms of the vacc-ed population. A lot of provinces are easing up, as an example, Quebec soon will announce that its province will go green.. Alberta reached second stage and one more stage pending before going green

Thanks Karim (i guess).. actually based on the current rate of vaccination Canada should reach 75% 1st dose within max 15 days. while the 2nd dose edge will take more time.. i took already my first dose, and the second soon. hope they open for vaccinated people at least..
on the other hand, what about traveling to USA for 2 days and then moving to Canada? how can i be sure about this step?

i've contacted IRCC and CBSA regarding the travel restrictions and coming through USA,. fingers crossed.

hello... they announced that travelers to Canada do not need to quarantine in the hotel for days.. i think this applies to canadians only..

They want to relax the measures for all exempt travellers:

yes i read this. i think till we arrive, things will be easier..

 

[hassankm]

do you think the hotel 3 days stopover doesn't apply on us? if we come from the US?

 

[hassankm]

i spoke to a CBSA agent again today.. she confirmed that we can come through US, even if our status in USA is "visitor"
however, she said that 90% we'll not be allowed to take a plane to toronto, so we'll have to go by car, but no need for the 3 days hotel stopover.. just the 14 days in a normal hotel.. (things might change till we arrive, as she said)

 

[hassankm]

guys.. is there a thread talking about schools in Ottawa..

i think 3days hotel is not needed in gov hotels... but 14days quarantine is needed

yes..that's what the agent confirmed to me.. but we have to cross the border by car..
