Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

It was never going to be a fixed price. From the get go, they said it could cost over $2000. I think that was a method to deter people who thought they'd just be able to offset a cheap winter break...

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

Yeah I know what you mean. I booked a one way flight here at less than a week's notice. I didn't even get a chance to see my young nephews before I left.

I doubt they will overturn anything in...

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

It can be retrieved from flight rosters but I think that's likely mostly used to catch overstayers. PR's and citizens are always legally entitled to leave the country whenever they wish.

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

To be fair, the UK has a similar policy for its own citizens returning from high risk countries and Australia has arguably been treating its own citizens overseas even more poorly for almost a year...

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

Sorry, you and Siouxie are right. This was my mistake. I think I just have been half asleep when I read it the other day and read YYZ instead of YVR. It's London to Vancouver and Dublin to Toronto...

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

According the government website, it's still ongoing. I really wouldn't hang around if you want to pursue that option though but it's really all dependent upon actually finding a direct route to...

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

Son of a bitch. :lol: So I rushed like mad to pack up and travel earlier for basically nothing. That date is after when I was originally going to travel anyway. Ah well, it's done now I suppose.

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

Oh yeah, compared with the UK it's absolutely nuts. The prices you'd pay in parts of Canada for a BYOD plan would get you a free smartphone included in the UK. Speakout 30 day is $35 for 2GB plus...

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

That's not a bad idea, thanks. I'm considering just getting a BYOD plan from somewhere like Cityfone atm though. They're offering 4GB plus unlimited calls and texts for $35 per month.

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

That's been a problem in the UK for months. I'm surprised it took this long to become an issue in Canada. Before Christmas some countries in Africa and the Middle East started requiring pre-flight...

Thank you. :D The advice from you and JG among others in this thread definitely made things easier although I'd still say it's probably been the most stressful week of my life. I've been up since...

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

The test on arrival is free at the moment although inevitably someone has to pay for it. Right now it only applies at Pearson if you if you intend on staying in Ontario. If you have a connection...

How would they only going to enforce it on non-essential travellers in that case though? Especially since whether something is essential can often be a matter of...

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

No this isn't related to travel. AB and (I think) ON have hotels the local government have rented and they offer them to people who have symptoms but can't self-isolate safely at home e.g. people in...

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

I think Ontario has those too. It makes sense because you have a lot of families who will live together with generations due to their original culture. Growing up in the anglophone west, we're very...

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

I would say yes because no official statement has been made regarding waivers for residency obligation.

For what little it matters, IMHO this was a huge mistake on the part of the Canadian...

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

I ideally would but unfortunately I don't think it's possible at this point. I have a job to start, my PRTD expires next month and I need to pick up my PR card when I get back. Plus the lease on my...

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

Sorry, that was a typo on my part. I meant to write "there is mandatory testing on arrival in Toronto". I think I must have been tired when I wrote that. :lol:

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

Hotel quarantine hasn't been introduced yet and the details haven't been confirmed. It takes time to set up.

There is no mandatory testing on arrival in Toronto though.

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

Return tickets are usually cheaper due to tax reasons I think. I can't remember exactly why though.

I was pretty happy with that fare and it was actually the first time in my life I'd ever...

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.

Yeah, that was one reason why I looked at it however BA only charge £65 for an extra 23Kg suitcase from the UK to Canada so economy still worked out considerably cheaper. I've opted for Transat club...
