Parents visit and quarantine plan?

You actually can't go outside to take your garbage out if you are using a communal hallway or garbage room. That would be breaking the quarantine. Perhaps you have a neighbour or your building can help you out if you out your garbage outside your door. They could put on a lair of gloves abd take your garbage out. Yes you can quarantine together if nobody is part of what is considered a vulnerable population (pregnant women, immunocompromised people, etc.). Whether that is a good idea depends on where they are travelling from and your current situation (job, financial? health, etc.). When travelling you have to assume there is a chance of covid exposure. Depending on the country they are coming from the risk of exposure may be higher.
She also doesn’t qualify to travel at the moment. In my opinion things are unlikely to change before your delivery.
My quarantine rules recommendations are different now that I remember that you are expecting. Your parents really shouldn’t be staying with you because pregnant women are at much higher risk of severe covid infections and you will be visiting the doctor weekly and could go into labour. If your parents are staying with you you risk bringing covid into your doctors/midwife offices and into the hospital if you deliver. You can’t plan when you’ll need to go into the hospital for any problems or to get checked if there is low fluid or movement or for labour. A 1+den is a very small space so you will be exposed if your parents are carriers. If you insist on quarantining together please inform your doctors before you go to their offices. They may not want you to come into the office and do virtual appointments. If you do have to go to the hospital you also should call and inform the ward that you are quarantining with people from abroad for 14 days. The hospital will treat you as suspected covid until they can get a test result back.
For anyone who had parents or family members coming to Canada who does not speak English, do you have any tips? Is there a way they can request a language speaker? Does the officer accept to call a number so we can translate?
My wife's dad does not speak English. Every time he comes he said they try to find a translator but this was not always the case. Sometime there were no translator. If this happens, he was showed to proceed to the automatic customs booth (in which there are multi language interface) for travelers to complete their customs declaration. There might be further translators in the secondary. You can call CBSA for info.
Thank you, I will check. Because his language is not one of those in the booth so I'm worried how they can navigate at POE. Cheers.
Yes..Thank you for the info! We are planning to get an Airbnb..what do you think about that ?
Hi, did your wife's dad come to Canada?
Hi,
