I would pick doha or maldives or albania. Cases in mexico are rising so i won't recommend it.

 

[Catmom]

Thank you. I will wait till 25th and hope that Dubai lifts the ban or allows transit. Otherwise Maldives for me.

Aren’t Indian nationals allowed to transit through Dubai or Abu Dhabi anyway? I think you can still transit

Hey @canuck78 , I adore you but allow me to politely disagree.
I got classmates who travelled via various countries and were required to do PCR test from only one outside of India.

Eg - India - Frankurt - Serbia (PCR) - Frankfurt - Toronto

India - Amsterdam - Mexico (PCR) - Toronto

India - Maldives (PCR) - Somewhere - somewhere - Toronto

The published requirement is for you to have to do a PCR test at every stop. Unfortunately Canada depends on the airlines to enforce this.
