You can't book with airbnb unless it is a separate unit with kitchen. I have already tried it and was denied several times. The host will not accept you in a unit where you have to use common spaces like kitchen and bathroom.
This will come a lot cheaper than hotels Can you explain what a homestay is and is there an option for it on Airbnb?You can't book with airbnb unless it is a separate unit with kitchen.

An alternative I was suggested was to go for homestay where you have your own private bathroom. The family you are staying with will offer you 3 cooked meals a day
Carry ready to eat meal for initial 14 days. Staying in hotel is a safe option than looking out Airbnb rentals currently.
Carrying food into Canada isn't simple either. There are a lot of restrictions on bringing in cooked food.
Homestay is a good alternative! Where can I see the postings? shall I look for it on AirBnB website?You can't book with airbnb unless it is a separate unit with kitchen.

Everyone MUST as always declare ALL food brought into Canada without exception and CBSA will decide if can be brought in or not. That includes ready to eat and 14 days of ready to eat in checked luggage really ??
From what I was suggested many international students prefer homestay. Basically you will be staying with a local family. They will offer you 3 cooked meals every day on pre-arranged basis. Since you can't open a bank account in self isolation, just pay the family for essential things like phone sim card etc and they will get it delivered to their address. Sometimes they even offer airport pick up services. This is considered a lot cheaper and more reliable than a hotel since the family will help you adjust to your new life in Canada.
I couldn't go.As they declared travel ban on 16th.My visa expired on 25th March.Waiting for extension.I am just sharing my communication.So make sure u book seperate unit and after u book call the host once and explain him the situation.infact before booking msg them that u wud be in self quaratine so how can they help you out?Then only book.
