But then what about the 3 day hotel quarantine?
So that means if it's a transit flight, then you will still be tested at the final stop, so the new restrictions will still apply. (e.g. you're flying over to Vancouver and one of the stops was in Toronto's Pearson airport; you won't take the test at Pearson, but you will take it at your final stop in Vancouver)

Obviously exempted.

Only required if final destination is of any : Montréal-Trudeau International Airport, Toronto Pearson International Airport, Calgary International Airport, and Vancouver International Airport.
But is says all air travellers must quarantine in a hotel according to the government release. Where does it say that if you are connecting you are exempt from hotel quarantine? The exemption is for Covid testing.

No COVID-19 testing = No need to wait for results = No 3 day Quarantine
Exempt from the federal quarantine but still have to follow provincial quarantine at the final destination.

But the link states,
Travellers must still provide proof of a negative pre-departure test. In the coming weeks, travellers will also be required to:

  • take a COVID-19 molecular test on arrival in Canada
  • reserve a room in a hotel for 3 nights at their own cost, while they await their test results
Please provide the government announcement where they have stated that ”all air travellers’ only means those landing in the 4 cities. Information is changing quickly and current guidelines will change once the “hotel quarantine” policy is implemented. We don’t yet know what the requirements. Hopefully fully guidelines will be posted by the end of the week.

A PCR-RT test is already valid for 72 hours. One already takes it prior boarding the flight and it's validity still remains until the connecting flight meeting the 72 hour threshold. Let's see.

Well, it was a good journey. At Toronto airport, I gave my covid test again and I have all my documents for quarantine. not faced any problem.
best of luck to you guys.
Did you pay for the test? If yes, how much did you pay? Also do you have any information about the hotel quarantine?
