What is the difference between quarantining for 14 days and isolating for 14 days?

I also found on the same website:

"Travellers who are under quarantine should avoid contact with others and:

• stay in separate rooms
• use separate bathrooms
• keep surfaces clean
• avoid sharing personal items
• limit interactions with others in the household"

It says should, not have to. Again, too much interpretation and no clarity, maaaan

Sorry for spamming, but here more information:

"In your place of quarantine, you may use shared spaces or private outdoor spaces provided you:

• avoid contact with others who didn't travel with you
• clean and disinfect spaces after use
• wear a suitable non-medical mask or face covering if a distance of 2 metres from others residing in your place of quarantine can't be maintained"

@studentfrompoland Nice research you did there. I can definitely understand your points.

If you wanna go through with your plan I would add to make sure that you guys desinfect after every toilet use and that you will not share any common spaces in the apartment. Or go with the safe bet and book a private room with an ensuite bathroom. Like you said don't risk it for the biscuit.

You can also email contact@cbsa.gc.ca. But you'll be lucky to even receive an answer. All the best to you, buddy! Keep us up-to-date once you're traveling.

Have you checked to see if your friend would quarantine with you for 14 days?

Hey @canuck78 I have actually asked my friend to do quarantine with me. He's an international student and classes are online from home. The apartment is a 2 BR basement. The other tenant will not arrive until at least May when his studies begin.
I created a little consent form stating his name, address, phone number and the dates where we will be quarantining together for the course of the remaining 11 days plus of course his signature at the end. My college also responded that this is very much possible. We'd order food from home through apps like UberEats and of course comply to the quarantine rules. I also provided a friend's contact who can also help out bringing food and get medicine in case of emergency.
Do you think the officer will give the okay for that?
Thanks in advance if you see this!

Have no idea. We haven't seen what changes are happening after Feb 22nd and some provinces are more strict than others. Your roommate also must declare if he has any health issues including things like asthma.
