Also you mentioned Germany, which again is not handing out transit visas needed to transit.

That's because UK and Canada are part of Air Bubble agreement. Qatar Airways does not even allow you to book flights to Canada till 23 May(even if you will be denied to board). Hamad International airport does not have facility to do the tests, unlike what is claimed above. Refer to this Tweet by Qatar Airways themselves:
There were still Indian students arriving 2-3 days ago via the Middle East. Things are fluid. I am sure the various countries are putting pressure on airlines if they start changing their rules. Was either Etihad or Qatar airways had moved PCR testing to their transit areas. This is a very fluid situation. With other countries closing their borders there will be more pressure put on airlines to stop any flights out of India.

Stop outright lying to support your agenda. You can't book flights from India to Canada via Qatar. There is no testing at Hamad International airport. Read this tweet:


UAE has banned all travel from India to UAE even for transits so Ethihad can't carry passengers from India as well.

People may be travelling through a 3rd country. People at Pearson have seen India international students still arriving. It may have taken a while to implement the restrictions. For Australia to put a monetary ban on travelers going through 3rd countries you know people must be entering via a 3rd country.

Saw someone travelling from the Maldives. People who are determined to find a way usually find a way and airlines usually don't dig into a travelers history because they don't want to lose money on the fare. As I said this is a fluid situation. If the government notices that people are arriving via a certain pathway I assume they will try to stop the pathway.

Not a choice. We have been following the public health restrictions dictated by our province and cities.
You said close to 2 years. What Public Health restrictions were there in the year end of 2019?

Well, I can totally understand.

But one cannot justify the loopholes with such frustration. I mean, how can you even imagine that they are putting so much stress on air travelers while land travelers can enter freely upon their wish. Stricter measures should be adopted but just after tieing all the loose ends first.
There are charter reasons for that. Canadians have a right to travel. Additionally, people can drive straight to their place of quarantine, but with very rare exceptions cannot fly straight to their place of quarantine.
