Falsification of covid test is an offense. But if you choose to quarantine at home rather than at government approved hotel for insanely high price hotel is not !! I wouldn't refuse covid test upon arrival, but would definitely refuse to quarantine at government approved hotel when I have a place to quarantine safely. I would also refuse to pay a fine. If those charged with false covid test, which is an actual crime got fined between 7 000 and 1 000, those who refused to stay at government facility shouldn't be fined at all if they have a proper place to quarantine.
Any new information on the latest announced travel restrictions please post here

Unfortunately you aren't the one making the rules. You don't seem to understand that from the beginning they were allowing people to do what you are saying BUT some people didn't think that those rules should apply to them either because they felt fine and had no symptoms and went out when they weren't supposed to.
From that type of behaviour came the requirement to do the mandatory hotel stay. As with so many other rules in Canada and other countries they have to make the stricter rules because of the minority of people who don't follow the more lenient first rules. It is because of those people that the law was created.
The laws are very specific that it can be a fine and/or prison. Maybe you could do a little experiment for us. Fly to the states and come back, refuse to do the hotel stay and see how it plays out after that. Be sure to get back to us on it.
I wouldn't travel just for an experiment or for leisure. Only if I really needed to go I would. And since I have quarantined properly before, I know I can.
I wonder if you would actually receive a fine ?
Just pay the $300. covid test at the airport and can't afford the ' high price hotel'.
Maybe stay at the airport until the results come back .... There are some nice facilities there. ( Tim Hortons )
Im prayinf for the elusive pre arrival this week. If it comes Im heading home for a month.and getting stuffready. Then will fly back and wait for her ppr!
Agree, I have spent nights sleeping in the airports 10 + hours a couple of times, why not? I don't mind spending a couple of days in the airport.
Seems most tend to stay in their trucks.....they're not out and about on holiday.
COVID-19: Truckers hauling to the U.S. rarely leave their vehicles, remain exempt from testing
Most airports kick people out at a certain time especially if they are not waiting for a flight.
