    Health Insurance (BC->Ontario/Calgary)

    Thanks a ton for your advice! I will actually be looking for a job and eventually settle down wherever I get one. So I may or may not move from BC. Is it a big hassle to shift insurance between provinces?

    Quarantine rules for immigrants

    Hi, I am planning to land in Canada as a permanent resident on 26th Feb. as per the latest information, non-essential travelers need to quarantine in hotel for 3 days. Will I need to do the same as I think my travel is not non essential? I did my short landing 3 years ago.

    Thank you again. Yes, it has got very complicated, complicated to the point that I am now thinking of just giving it up rather than going through these scenarios as it involves my employment as well.
