Not true. They charge normal rates 70-90 CAD per night. Almost every hotel has been accepting quarantine guests for months. They will lock you in for 14 days and every morning deliver breakfast to your door. All other meals are your responsibility. You can call any hotel and ask, they will...

So if you are coming for permanent settlement the changes of you bringing the virus are zero? I know this is a big complication for newcomers, but everyone crossing the border should be treated in the same way, as everyone can be potentially infected.

The key is food. They cannot put you in a hotel and say "now get online and order yourself some food". I assume they will take full responsibilities for that. And since the kitchens in all hotels are closed (Covid rules), this becomes very problematic. 3 months ago hotels in Toronto asked $400...

Except politicians, no one really believes that. Read some news, the vaccine war between countries has just started.

Nope, you are wrong. If you turn out Covid positive during the 3-day stay, no one will let you leave the room, then get on a vehicle and move to another facility. Unless you need medical treatment, you will stay at the hotel for the remaining 12 days and will be tested again. My question...

And what if you test positive? Then you stay at the hotel for 2 weeks. If 3 days cost $2000, how much would 15 days cost?

Ontario does not want to wait for weeks for the federal government's rules to kick in and it's implementing its own measures immediately. You should start reading what Ford is saying. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/covid-19-ontario-january-29-2021-airport-mandatory-testing-1.5893034

You are eligible for Ontario healthcare after you register. Then you will be given a paper document that is valid until your health card arrives (3-4 weeks since registering). But there is a catch: to register you will need a proof of address in Ontario (utility bill, bank statement, etc.) and...

Yes, if your bank is nowhere heard of, you'd better get paper docs. But if it's a recognized US bank, no such need. I only provided PDF monthly statements, I did not even bother to visit my US bank branch and ask for any formal letters. GMCS notes confirmed that it was approved without any...

Coming to Canada soon? Must read this: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/garneau-negative-test-airline-1.5858379

Just show PDF statements for the last 6 months, it worked for me, no questions asked.

Several weeks ago someone mentioned Grocery Gateway and Amazon for groceries accepting international cards, no personal experience though.

Hi! I will be settling down soon, but now I am having problems with buying Canadian dollars in my home country (they are not that popular). Will it be OK if I arrive with US dollars instead (over 10k in cash)? Can you imagine any problems this might cause?

Thanks, this is SUPER useful! One question though: is the SIM card purchased as you described (by a friend in a store) already activated and ready to use? Or one still needs to go to some website and activate it (or recharge)? I am asking, because I may not have the Internet for some time after...

But to open a bank account you must be able to go out, which means you can start this process after the 2 weeks of isolation are over. And then you apply for SIN and wait 3 weeks for it to arrive. People do not want to waste those 2 weeks and it would be better to apply for SIN while still in...

Hey, could you please clarify this? Did you mean purchasing a SIM card online or in a physical store? I don't know how it works in Canada, but in other countries (like UK) you buy a SIM card in the same way as you buy coke or fruit: you take from a shelf and go to the register. There is no...

Hi and congratulations! Could you please share more details on the SIM card you've purchased? I would like to do the same after my landing. 1. Where exactly did you purchase it? Was it a store or an automated kiosk? Are they open 24/7? 2. Which mobile provider? 3. What is the plan? How much...
