Hey everyone,
Any student who has landed recently in Montreal, can you share your quarantine plans so that will help not only me but other students who will be landing in Canada soon.
Thanks in advance.

Airbnb or a Hotel. Or stay with your family if you have any
Living with friends or friends of friends defeats the purpose of quarantine.

All travellers arriving to Canada by air, as of February 22, 2021, with some exceptions, will be required to take a COVID-19 molecular test when they arrive in Canada before exiting the airport, and another toward the end of their 14-day quarantine period. With limited exceptions, air travellers, will also be required to reserve, prior to departure to Canada, a 3-night stay in a government-authorized hotel. Travellers will be able to book their government-authorized stay starting February 18, 2021. These new measures are in addition to existing mandatory pre-boarding and health requirements for air travellers.

Finally, at the same time on February 22, 2021, all travellers, whether arriving by land or air will be required to submit their travel and contact information, including a suitable quarantine plan, electronically via ArriveCAN before crossing the border or boarding a flight

Using hotels
If you are not displaying symptoms, you may be allowed to quarantine at a hotel. A Government of Canada representative can give you instructions. While staying at a hotel, you must:

  • stay in your room to avoid contact with others
  • practise physical distancing (maintain a 2-metre distance)
  • practice good hand hygiene and cough etiquette at all times
  • use a delivery service and ask that the meal be left outside the door of your hotel room
Getting to your place of quarantine (final destination)
  • Go directly to your place of quarantine without delay and stay there for 14 days from the date you arrived in Canada
  • You must wear a non-medical mask while in transit
  • Practice physical distancing at all times and avoid contact with others
  • Some provinces and territories have additional COVID-19 measures in place. We encourage all travellers to check provincial and territorial restrictions
Many travellers will be able to quarantine at home or at their Canadian destination.

Some travellers may be unable to quarantine at home or their final destination. In these cases, travellers are expected to make alternative arrangements for their return to Canada. Although alternative accommodations (e.g. with family or friends, or paid accommodation) may be suitable, the Government of Canada does not reimburse for expenses incurred for accommodations, including hotels, RV rentals and trailer park or campground fees.

You cannot quarantine in group living environments

Some examples include:

  • industrial camps
  • group residences or homes
  • hostels
  • construction trailers
  • student residences (unless you’ve received prior authorization)
  • residential care or long-term care facilities
  • sharing a small apartment
  • living in the same household with large families or many people
  • having housemates who haven’t travelled with you that you can’t avoid
How to report after you've entered Canada
You are required to report your arrival at your place of quarantine within 48 hours of your arrival in Canada.
All travellers, whether you travel by air, land or sea, must report on symptoms daily after your entry into Canada. If you’re exempt from having to quarantine, you don't have to report after you’ve entered.
You will receive phone calls or public health follow-ups upon your arrival in Canada. If you don't complete your reports after you’ve entered Canada you will be in violation of the Emergency Order. Failure to comply with this order is an offence under the Quarantine Act and could lead to fines.
