The ArriveCAN app asks for a contact number (i.e. mobile number). Apparently, the reason for asking mobile number is to contact new immigrant during 14 days quarantine period.
Can somebody tell me how a new immigrant who arrives at Canadian airport can give mobile number of Canada as required by arriveCAN app.? He will have to buy mobile SIM, I suppose.
Is it possible if we can buy a mobile sim immediate after our arrival before immigration process, customs etc. and mention it using arriveCAN ?

No, you won't be able to before Immigration. Provide the contact number of your spouse, friend, place where you are staying etc. so they can get in touch.

I have a question related to the purpose of the travel option in the ArriveCan form. My husband is coming on a spouse open work permit and we already got a written authorization letter from IRCC for a family reunion because I am in Canada on a study permit and we were eligible to apply for that.
ArriveCan form mentioned only immediate family members of permanent residents and Canadian citizens under the family reunion option. I am confused about which option should we select. If anyone else came to Canada after 20th November and was in the same situation please let me know how you deal with that. Thanks

I am also trying to figure this out. I would guess that someone landing as a PR would choose “other” since the alternative options don’t fit.

I chose family reunification because no other option suited us better than that. If you applied for an open work permit at the time of visa application then they will give you a permit on arrival.

Hey guys, I am a permanent resident and my parents would be visiting me soon.
What category would they need to select in the arrive can app for the purpose of travel ? Is it reuniting with family or the tourist ?

Would appreciate your responses ! Thank you!
