So if we reach canada after 3rd of feb we have to quarantine in hotel? Or the date is not decided yet?
Not known at the moment. But yes, after 3rd Feb you'd have to land on one of those 4 airports.

Official advisory:
As soon as possible in the coming weeks, all air travelers arriving in Canada, with very limited exceptions, must reserve a room in a Government of Canada-approved hotel for three nights at their own cost, and take a COVID-19 molecular test on arrival at their own cost. More details will be available in the coming days.

Thank you. I just hope it take them 2-3 weeks to implement the rules.

Hey congratulations !! My wife and I want to call our parents in mid-June for her pregnancy. After reading the posts I thought that the PHAC approval is only valid for 30 days and that's why I was holding back on applying. I have the doctors letter which I uploaded with the original application. Can you please tell me which dates have you mentioned for your parent's arrival? I think we are in the same boat and if that's the case, I will also apply for PHAC approval right away.
Hi, I have applied Date as 1st March 2021 and I have also emailed my PHAC Approval and got response from IRCC in a day. All the good success

Like I said, IRCC don't require us to send mail. But it's possible that mailing them might expedite response from them.

I got the PHAC last wednesday and sent them email on thursday. Haven't heard back from them yet. Let's keep each other posted!
Hi, I have received response in a from IRCC but got Passport submission request only for my MIL and they are asking biometrics for my FIL even though they provided biometrics. We are trying to send email and get response.. hoping for the best

From India it seems difficult to book a direct flight to canada in coming two weeks... mostly we have to enter through US(EWR) :( Anybody explored on it ?

If you have a US visa and meet their Covid requirements (don't know what they are), you can. Assume as long as you are transiting only, you would be able to.
