My mother-in-law and father-in-law have super visa for 8 years. Last year, they came to visit us in Canada. They stayed here 7 months and went back to India in March 2020. Now they want to return to Canada as soon as possible. I heard from someone that only people under essential services can enter Canada. What are essential services?

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
5) How others who live at the same place will stay safe (e.g. wear masks, etc.)
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.
