First entry into Canada
This may seem like a silly question but my partner and I are planning our landing in Canada in early June and at the moment there are no direct flights on AC to Calgary so we will be connecting through Vancouver or Toronto. Given the requirement to self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival, we just want to confirm that we wouldn't be expected to officially "land" and quarantine in the city we are connecting through, but would be fine to carry on to our final destination in Calgary and then begin our self-isolation?

Not only do you need a good reason to be travelling but you need documentary evidence to support your claim.

Self isolation on arrival in Canada - so if you arrive in Toronto you self isolate there and cannot take your internal flight for 14 days?

Upon arrival, every traveller will need to confirm that they have a suitable place to isolate or quarantine, where they will have access to basic necessities, such as food and medication. Travellers will be expected to make plans for where they will isolate or quarantine in advance of arriving to Canada. Travellers who do not have an appropriate place in which to isolate or quarantine themselves must go to a place designated by the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada. These criteria are newly applied to asymptomatic travellers.

Maybe but it looks like they haven't replied so we will never know.
