FROM TODAY YOU CAN BOOK YOUR MANDATORY 3 DAY HOTEL QUARANTINE - GATHER HERE!!!

I have no dog in this fight. If it's allowed it's allowed. If the rule allows this then yeah go ahead. I am just saying that there are potential risks in sharing. It's easy to say a person will sanitize everytime. Eventually his/her guard can be down, and then they might infect the other person. But in that case even the earlier 14 days quarantine was fine if trust was the only factor here.

About the Covid test at entry, you're aware that Covid is usually detected after 4-5 days of being infected. So negative Covid test doesn't mean the person is not infected. Hence the 2nd test is needed. Meanwhile if people are sharing bathrooms and kitchens and lose focus, they will infect the other person.

It is an ethical problem. Personaly I was fine with the 14 day quarantine as well. I would have followed it religiously. But there are many who didn't hence we are in this position.

And there will also be a 3rd test at day 10 of quarantine of at the very end of quarantine. let's just say it is up to the officer do determine if the plan is suitable. regarding shared bathroom with one other person, i think it is fine and it's up to everyone how careful they will be.
but it nowhere says that you cannot use a bathroom with one other person.
otherwise they should or would have stated: MUST use a private bathroom while in quarantine after their hotel
There are just those 2 points:

• can avoid contact with others who did not travel with you
• can have a separate bedroom from those who did not travel with you

and there they could have added must have proof or must use a private bathroom. thanks for not freaking out at me and dealing with this in a professional manner!

Personally, I will enter my German number into the ArriveCAN app and I'm letting the Canadian SIM card get shipped to my hotel's reception so I can edit the German number to Canadian. I just took a 25$ plan (incl. taxes around 28,xx) with 3 GB of mobile data. I will then upgrade to 7 or 10 GB once I'm out of quarantine. I did it with Rogers

Does the plan include any call time +/- SMS?

Nice for you to say this, but my airlines/airport staff are illiterate. Not sure what to do..

Anyone travelled with Air Transat?

From what I've read in one post, they offer a refund.

from what i see on Canadian local TV news, ppl got their test results on 2nd day. they were complaining of not getting refund for the 3rd day.

Hi Everyone!
I am trying to contact the booking officer via Skype, I used several Numbers including Gov. provided number, but not being able to connect, is it the same with everyone or anyone who is trying to connect right now. If someone has skype plz let me know or DM me need some information regarding the calling procedure to make sure I am not going wrong.

Yes, unlimited call time throughout whole Canada and unlimited SMS. The website is PhoneBox Mobile | Phone Plans on a Budget (gophonebox.com)

3 GB for 35$ and 7 GB for 45$. I had a promotion code, that's why I saved 10$ on my 35$ 3 GB plan. And the SIM card will be shipped directly to the hotel's reception on my arrival date. Even if you pay 35$ I think that's an okay offer for the start as you don't need too much mobile data during your hotel and quarantine stay. Hope that helps!

It depends on the hotel. Fairfield Inn offers a refund and that's where I'm thankfully staying

You are probably right. If its not so how the Alberta government allowing you to end quarantine once you have negative covid test after landing.

Just called on one of the numbers from the government’s website to book the 3 day quarantine. And they told me that they cannot book it for me since my flight doesn’t leave in the next 48 hours. Anybody have similar experience?
My flight’s on the 14th of March
