Still a compliance violation by circumventing around and no guarantee that it will work for everyone else but eventually you will end up booking the GAA plan after being warned at the hotel.
Its the govt approved hotel that is being booked here. If required the public health attendants will upgrade your booking to GAA upon arrival, this is way faster than making a new booking on arrival. Both CBSA and PHAC are fine with this coz GAA is an internal jargon
This would be a great help for ppl who were unable to book the hotels using the phone line. Not sure if the online thing works now it didnt as of my arrival on Sunday. If I relied on phone booking, I wouldnt have travelled.
Already the govt is being a pain in the bottom with this situation, requesting you not to pass arbitrary judgements here. This will surely help someone in need
