Hi Paul, Can you tell me more about the lease agreement? I found this lease agreement form on ON website. Is this the one you used? https://www.forms.ssb.gov.on.ca/mbs/ssb/forms/ssbforms.nsf/FormDetail?OpenForm&ACT=RDR&TAB=PROFILE&SRCH&ENV=WWE&TIT=2229E&NO=047-2229E

I will be booking direct non-stop flight from Air Canada's website. Yes the price is super expensive but for seniors such as my mom traveling alone in this crazy COVID time with different testing requirements, non-stop direct flight is the best option.
