Hello everyone, hope you all are keeping safe. I landed in Canada this February and have been working remotely for my company abroad. Wanted to check if I can file taxes (for year 2020 I guess)? I believe I won't have to pay any taxes as I was not even in Canada last year and no income was being...

I have been on hold for 2 days now! 3-4times it has been 4 hrs on hold a time but still haven't got to speak to anyone.

@Wiggy you mean this number [1-613-830-2992 (collect outside of North America)] right? I have been calling this number from Skype on laptop.

I am yet to make any booking even after trying continuously for 2 days now. 2-3 times I was connected for 4 hours but still nothing. Really worried now. Guys any idea what happens if one is unable to get a booking before boarding?

@Amm2020 even with skype laptop, my call drops every 15-20 minutes. Were you facing no such issues with Skype? I have the free trial account.

Congratulations @vikasp08 !!! Thanks a ton for the advice. Let me try. Btw, which city are you landing in and do they let you choose the cheapest hotel among the ones available?

@supernovamuz not yet, I will try my best today. Best of luck!

pathetic it is really. I am just grateful they didn't ask to book hotels via postal mail.

No luck here as well. This is very poor management on the part of the government.

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?

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?

where are you landing? How much was the cost for 3 nights?

@Amm2020 any luck? I am also travelling on 26th but unable to reach them for booking a hotel. Where are you landing?

@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 spoke to CBSA just now, they clearly stated that PR's returning to Canada are considered non-essential (travel wise :)) and need to undergo hotel quarantine.

@itzraj could you please reconfirm if this is actually the case?

I would love to believe this is true.....

following this as I am also in the same boat

Sorry this information is not right it seems. I called them again to verify and they now say that I was provided incorrect information by the previous agent :mad: and there is in fact a 3 month waiting period :(. They only suspended he waiting period for a few months last year.
