Oh okay. So the Canadian has to have a bona fide reason to be in country X, including ex: a work visa, etc.

Do you have a source for that? The website just says that time spent accompanying a Canadian citizen abroad counts as time in Canada to maintain PR, with no other qualifiers.

If you are a citizen, time spent outside Canada accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse counts as time in Canada for the purpose of maintaining PR.

Right, I see that now. But you definitely don't need to send your passport. That's straight from the federal government there.

What a shitshow. After making us wait for 2 years you'd think they could be clear about what they need and where. But passports are definitely not required for PR from citizens of visa-exempt countries - the person at the TT Services must be misinformed. Unless they suddenly changed their...

What about the processing fee they describe? Did they send any information about that? The consulate's website (https://www.vfsglobal.ca/Canada/USA/how_to_apply.html?fbclid=IwAR2ZNr8d-pgBQguwJhUMCF4ffy0M0A9DcGkcXYTaK3FMudseYsG2ZXw2N9s#temporary_documents) seems to indicate that all...

It says in the letter that the passport only needs to be sent if are not from a Visa exempt country. The important part - the part OP was asking about - was where to send the bloody thing when the website is dead.

That's not really the point and kind of wasting OP's time. OP needs to send the form, passport pictures, and photocopies of the passport even if they are visa exempt, it's really not about whether or not they need to send the passport. The link remains dead from a website not in use for two years.

The rules specifically say that I'm exempt - who are they to go against federal guidelines? Besides, I'm the only one in that hospital with two doses of the Moderna vaccine. At that point, I was safer around the patients than any of them. Not that I saw the patients - I dutifully maintained...

I didn't. I made my alternative arrangements before the website to schedule it came in (it would have been in the first weeks of the new measures), and I took the government at its word. It does deter me from visiting my wife and child still awaiting PR, though.

Personally, the measures did not deter my travel, since my travel was unavoidable. It did, however, compel me to skip the quarantine altogether through availing myself of section 6h of the orders in council. I was originally planning to self-quarantine for the whole 2 weeks in an airbnb, it...

Maybe, if you start working as a truck driver within the first 14 days of your time in Canada

I did, in fact, get my exemption. The border officer hardly even glanced at my documents and put a little orange sticker on the back of my passport, I was able to walk out without doing the test, with only a little flier on how to isolate during my not-quarantine. I guess I was that special...

That's the recommendation. If you leave, no one will stop you. If you must leave the country during your 14 day quarantine, the rules is that you have to go straight to your final destination without stopping. They aren't likely to let you in without a quarantine plan, though, so it's a moot point.

Probably.

Well, the government issued the directive that airlines are not to deny boarding to people who don't have their hotels pre-booked. I imagine, then, that you could go to customs and be all like "can't afford the hotel" and throw your hands in the air when they pressure you on it, until they put...

No exemptions except for essential travelers, refugees, and temporary foreign workers. That does not include immediate family members.

What's an immigration loan?

You have to be careful with the word "essential". You will be able to enter Canada to visit your Canadian spouse. You do not need to ask for permission. You will still be subject to the quarantine, including the 3 day special hotel at your own cost (unless you enter through land).

That's not very reasonable.
