I’m sure the testing at the airport is mandatory, the hotel likely not, because immigration for parents which falling under reunion with family members on the list for travel exemptions and should be considered essential travel and not a vacation. Hope I’m right , will see.......

I have no idea... from researching it seems that it applies to everyone coming in, it doesn’t say if family reunification purposes are exempted. I am also trying to find out because my husband is going to be coming in after feb 22nd. There is nothing clear about it so annoying!
Quarantine at hotel is related to the test on arrival irrespective of the purpose unless you have an exemption letter from government. The traveller has to wait at hotel for results which take 3 days and if negative, can move to the place of quarantine for rest of the days( 11 days). In case of the positive results - stay at hotel for rest of the period and again test will be repeated. Please check the details here:

But can you travel domestically to your final destination after 3 day hotel quarantine if results are negative??
They really need to clarify things like this

Hi All,
I am confused. It is saying that our parents can't land now if they have received their PR visa after March 2020.
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/immigration-applicants.html
But in here https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/wizard-start it says they can come if they have immediate family in canada.

Hi folks, Anyone in similar situation here. Appreciate any help.
Summary of my application:
- Received 'Decision Made' on my sponsorship application for my mother (App. was received in Ottawa on 19 Jun 2019) today; says that I have met the requirements for eligibility as sponsor. And says that PR App for your relative will be processed at CPC Missisauga. I am based out of BC and my mother is in India so is Mississauga right?
There hasn't been any update at all after last update on 28 October 2020.
Is there a way to reach out to CIC to see what's going on or get a status update? Thanks for your help.
@YULIA-2016 @robertp you both have championed this subject so any guidance from you folks will be great. Thanks much.
Edit: I just submitted a request for GCMS notes so hopefully should get information from that as to why application is not moving forward.

what is your timeline ?
Hello Everyone,
My parents medical passed date just vanished from MyCIC and now it just says no medical required at this time. They had passed in on Feb26th of 2020. They received the Pre-arrival on Feb 12th this year. Ecas still has principal applicant as "In Progress".
Does the medical date vanishing mean anything at all? @YULIA-2016 @robertp , y'all know these pretty well. Any input?
THANK YOU EVERYONE HERE!
