Thanks!
So they didn't ask your parents to submit the BC self isolation Plan form?
What about Alberta?
Did they ask in detail about what the isolation plan in Calgary was going to be?
They can quarantine in Alberta as long as they can provide a plan. If they can’t they get stuck quarantining in BC.
Yes because in some provinces the police come to check that you are at home. No raids just a knock at the door. People receive phone calls usually.
We live in Alberta. My mom returned back from the States. I inquired with our provincial government a few days before her arrival and was told that household members of international travelers are not required to self isolate but monitor for symptoms. Now, I am not sure what the rule is is Ontario or any other province but I would recommend to get this information confirmed from your provincial authorities. In addition of course a traveler would have to maintain physical distance at home or wear a mask. My mom wore a mask at all times when she was leaving her room. Good luck!
Hmm I found this on the canada gov website on covid
Do not leave home unless it’s to seek medical care. f Do not use public transportation (e.g. buses, taxis). f Arrange to have groceries and supplies dropped off at your door to minimize contact. f Stay in a separate room and use a separate bathroom from others in your home, if possible. f If you have to be in contact with others, practise physical distancing and keep at least 2 metres between yourself and the other person. f Avoid contact with individuals with chronic conditions, compromised immune systems and older adults.

So can people who need to go into isolation use taxis? Maybe the screen shields are not meant for people who need to isolate? Are taxis considered public or private transport? I think they are public.
Recently, I hv received medical, PCC, biometric requests. At the same time, pre-arrival letter. My application was received since May 8th, DM status under sponsorship Oct 3, 2019 & PR application status in process on Nov 19,2019. Nothing was heard until last week my file started to move on.
Thanks. My parents got their COPR on 12 Feb 2020.
They will be doing their landing sometime in the next 3 weeks.
How about your parents?
Really depends on the ventilation system
Taxis aren’t preferred but you do have to get home somehow so either a family member or a taxi/Uber needs to get you home. The instructions are to sit on the opposite end of the car as the drive. Drive with the windows open so there is good airflow. Probably the best option to protect taxi drivers is to pick up family while wearing PPE. Your level of PPE is up to you but should be at least an N95 mask. If lifting up suitcases you should have gloves. Some wear a full suit as well but changing and cleaning your clothes and showering as soon as you get home would be fine. You would then need to clean your car inside and the handles.
You got incorrect information or maybe there was a miscommunication. Rules for quarantine are federal. Family members shouldn’t be seeing familiy members if they are in quarantine even with a mask on. The rest of the family doesn’t need to quarantine if there is no contact with the people quarantining. Families should be remaining in a separate suite like a basement with their own kitchen and bathroom. Food can be left at their door and the door can be opened once the person dropping of food leaves. There seems to be an option to stay in a separate bedroom with an en-suite but most bedrooms don’t have perfect seals and often share ventilation with adjacent rooms. If people have to come out to use a bathroom that creates extra risks of transmission and isn’t actually really quarantining.
