Hi,

As I have the study permit visa, my course starts from jan 2021 in Conestoga College(Guelph Campus,Ontario) and I am planning to fly in December. I have relatives in Montreal(Quebec) who are citizens of Canada and I want to get to them first before my college starts. Is it possible for me to fly to Montreal rather than landing at Toronto(which is near to my college)? As I am going for the first time and start my immigration status, where should I fly to? Please help me with this issue

If the border restrictions are still in effect in December, then you are supposed to be traveling for an "essential" purpose only - and starting school is deemed essential. Visiting relatives is NOT. Don't take the chance - fly into Toronto.

I agree with Jody, you can always take a train or car ride to Montreal when the coast is clear, so you don't get turned back on entry.

What if travel restrictions are called off? Can we travel then?

Yes, if there are no travel restrictions, you could fly into Montreal. But don't plan on that - my guess is the restrictions will be in place through the end of the year at least.
