@itzraj Hi, I am travelling on 26th. But unable to reach the booking agent on phone. Could you please share your experience of booking the hotel?

I am just not able to reach them from my VoIP service Nymgo as my call gets disconnected every time after 40-50 minutes. How are you guys calling them?

Do you have a landline so you can call them by collect call? Collect call means you don't need to pay long distance charges. Personally, I think booking online or the contact hotel directly is a more cost effective option for everybody.

Hi @steaky, thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a landline. I can call them by mobile though. Does the collect call work with mobile too?

Hey! I think they haven't uploaded the list of the approved hotels on the cic website though. How did you make your decision on choosing a hotel?

Are you exempted from travelling restrictions or did you apply to get permission from IRCC to board the plane to Canada?

The government has a lsit. In Vancouver, yesterday, there's only one hotel. There was no other option if you land there.
