Since some countries are implementing mandatory quarantine measures, what are the rules surrounding quarantine if you are arriving in Canada from another country?
-
When you arrive in Canada either by air, land, or sea, your health will be assessed before you are permitted to leave the port of entry. If you are a foreign national and you have symptoms of COVID-19, then you will not be allowed to enter Canada.
If you are planning on travelling to Canada, you must make the following arrangements for your 14 day quarantine period:
1 ) Find a place to stay for the 14 days
2 ) Transportation to and from quarantine site
3 ) Groceries
4 ) Access to essential services and medical care
The 14 quarantine period is mandatory even if you do not have any symptoms of COVID-19. A CBSA officer may not allow you to enter Canada if you do not show that you have a proper plan for the quarantine. If you are in breach of the mandatory 14 day quarantine period, then you may face the following penalties:
1 ) Fine of up to $750,000
2 ) 6 months of jail time
3 ) Found inadmissible to Canada and removed from Canada and banned from entering for 1 year.
Only essential service providers such as truck drivers who regularly cross the border are exempt from the 14 day quarantine requirement.
