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

[phaijalkhan]

Well, the experience on the call with Comfort Inn wasn't the greatest. In fact, the receptionist refused to book me and directed me to the government helpline. I felt I was wasting a lot of her time by asking questions about a reservation that is generally turning out to be very expensive for me. But it's still the cheapest amongst all. So I will just be prepared for the worst experience. No expectations.

Although they provide meals, I am glad they also allow ordering.

Does anyone know who got exempted from the 3 day hotel and went on directly to the 14 day quarantine after showing positive report within 14-90 days of the flight?

Exemptions from hotel stopover
Travellers are exempt from the 3-night hotel stay if they’re:

-an unaccompanied minor or unaccompanied dependent child
- already exempt from the requirement to undergo arrival testing
- already exempt from the requirement to quarantine


Here's the link that comes after clicking on (already exempt from the requirement to undergo arrival testing)

Canada.ca

Below is the main info:

Who does not need a pre-entry test
There are only a limited number of exceptions where an individual is not required to show proof of a negative test:

Resolved COVID-19 infection - persons who have molecular test proof to show they had a positive COVID-19 test taken between 14-90 days before travel

For on arrival testing:

Who does not need an arrival test
There are only a limited number of exceptions where an individual is not required to do post-border testing:

Resolved COVID-19 infection - persons who have molecular test proof to show they had a positive COVID-19 test taken between 14-90 days before travel

So you are exempt from doing any testing prior to arriving in Canada. This refers to essential workers and flight crews.

 

[Naturgrl]

Noooooo.. read carefully, just the 3 day hotel stopover, not the whole 14 day quarantine.

How are you exempt from the 3 day hotel stopover as you highlighted “already exempt from the requirement to undergo arrival testing”. This means essential workers and flight crews so no you are not exempt from the hotel quarantine. Few people are.

 

[Naturgrl]

So, here's how to put it clearly on how you can be exempt from the hotel stay (only, not the total 14 day quarantine):

Go to this link - Canada.ca and follow with me as I show in the following pics:

Hope it is clear now!!

Ok. If you have the molecular test you are good.

 

[Ironclad]

Sometimes paper certificates of proof may not be convincing enough. If proven wrong by verifying through another dose of antibody test then one may expect to be screwed at the POE.

 

[Ironclad]

As the person is exempt from on-arrival testing, they shall not be doing any antigen testing (nor will they be free enough to do that after seeing/verifying the positive molecular test shown by the passenger). smh

Meant antibody test not antigen (edited the comment), it was a typo.

You are right. People are exempt from 3 day Hotel quarantine for sure. Read many accounts on a facebook group where they were allowed to proceed to their final destination once you show a legitimate proof.

However, all these accounts are of either Canadians or Americans. This rule applies to all incoming travellers for sure but boarding from your home country could be a challenge. Verify with your airline before boarding. To be on a safer side just take the test before boarding. On arrival in Canada, just show your positive report and the subsequent negative report after recovery.

I'll dig more info on what happens if we don't have a discharge summary as most young people don't get admitted on being found Covid Positive.

Meant antibody test not antigen (edited the comment), it was a typo. Great if it works out.

Antibody test is of no value at the POE. They dont do that there.

Does anyone know if we can still leave the hotel if they haven't received the result back on time? I gave my test on12th march at 4pm EST and its already been 48 hours, and I have to check out tomorrow. any suggestions on what i can do?

 

[Bluejayscardinals]

Its simple just call the hotel reception and tell them you want to do a RESERVATION and not a BOOKING. If they agree to reserve the room then they wont charge you. You can cancel the reservation 24 hrs prior to your arrival and no charges should be made. In my case I had 2 reservations, I cancelled both after arriving in Canada.

Don't worry I believe this Hotel Scam run by the govt is nearing its end soon. There are a heap load of law suits against this illegal cash grab. Just waiting for one law suit to get justice, very next day both PHAC and the hotel will receive my lawsuit for denying my fundamental rights and robbing me under a situational menace

I will surely post my outcome here to spread the awareness

There are not a heap of lawsuits. I'm not sure why you say that.
What on earth are you referring to? "fundamental rights?" "situational menace?"

No you can’t leave without your results. It can be up to 72 hours so expect a result in the morning.

3 day hotel quarantine was a great win for the government to contain the virus and there is nothing else to it. There will always be complainants and haters regardless.

In ON there are over a dozen lawsuits, out of which one is class-action. You must know when there is class-action lawsuit subsequent suits choose to join

"fundamental rights?"

Well it sounds awful for someone to ask what the fundamental rights are, particularly when you choose to migrate here. Well the below link is for your reference.

https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/rfc-dlc/ccrf-ccdl/rfcp-cdlp.html

Its illegal to refuse my right to mobility when I have not committed any crime as per the Canadian Law. This is the very essence of all these lawsuits. Now I dont wish anyone to pass any arbitrary judgements here, lets wait for the legal battle to get over.

"situational menace?"

The situation that was artificially created by PHAC to bring all travelers to their knees and enforce their hotel scam with Police around. I have enough proof to show the circumstances that were forced on me to sign up for the hotel. Once I reached the hotel, I did complain about the room and requested for a change, the reception told me it was impossible and no refunds will be offered. I called PHAC and guess what they told me? Go home and do your quarantine, which was after I paid

PS: One can choose to wear N95 on their eyes and blindly support whatever is told. But I am confident that I will win my hard-earned money back and record it in here

Well I think this is totally misleading. Here are some statistics,

Between Feb 22 to Mar 06 (since the rule was implemented),

Total number of Positive COVID cases in Canada: 27,273
Total number of Positive COVID cases from Travelers (Both Air/Land): 267

So only 0.97% of COVID cases that were identified in this period were with travelers to Canada, which would have been still mitigated if the travelers were in a 14 day home quarantine. An important point to note, it is mandatory for almost every traveler to undergo testing. But it isn't mandatory for the general public to do so, hence the 27K number must be much higher. If someone follows news regularly they must know the fact that every strand of COVID known to mankind is already doing circles within Canada

So PHAC stated you could go home and quarantine whilst you were waiting for the covid test result?
