No it clearly says you have to quarantine unless you fall into 1 of very few exemptions such as a truck driver or providing an essential urgent service.

Hello, Thank you for you response. The reason I got a bit confused is it also gives a list here.


Who is exempt from travel restrictions?
Some people are exempt from travel restrictions, such as:

• Canadian citizens (including dual citizens) or permanent residents;
• certain people who have been approved for Canadian permanent residence;
• certain temporary foreign workers;
• certain international students;
• protected persons;
• immediate family members of Canadians;
• extended family members of Canadians;
• people coming to Canada for compassionate reasons; or
• anyone else who falls under the exemptions listed on the government’s webpage.

That is exemption from the travel ban (you can enter Canada) not exemption from quarantine

here is the list of things which allow you an exemption from quarantine
