It's crazy. Why would Canada care if you quarantine for all the time you are there, but leave before 15 days? My parents have been locked up for 3 months already and I (had the virus long ago) want to visit.

You can leave Canada before the 14 days is over.

How can I infect people in my car on the highway? Besides that there should be some exception for people with antibodies.

Remember, you're questioning the reasoning of a prime minister that looks (today) pretty much like a homeless...

He's a prime minister, but true- he is looking pretty shabby these days.

Anyone with recent experience on US citizens flying to Canada (YYZ)? How strict are they with entering? Is the quarantine enforced?

If you're a US citizen without a valid exemption to enter the country, I don't think you have a chance of getting in whether flying or driving.

In most cases you'll have to quarantine

No personal experience but I've heard that people have gotten turned away. Yes the quarantine is enforced. I hear enforcement seems a bit more lax if you've flown as opposed to driving, but enforced nonetheless.

How is he getting in though if he's not a Canadian citizen?

I was in Canada 8 days ago by car for several hours. I'm Canadian.
I said whatever you're supposed to say.
They left 2 voicemails on Shabbos Shmini Atzeres that I should pick up the phone the next time they call. I got a robocall two days ago with bla bla generic message. No live calls since and no visit. will keep you posted if it changes.

Thanks everyone. I’m asking for my sister who’s not Canadian, and is has an overnight connection in YYZ on the way from Israel to the US. Will she be able to leave the airport?

Will quite possibly be denied boarding at TLV, but YYZ border will probably allow her in for the night.

Does this new announcement mean that it is now closed indefinitely?

It gets consistently pushed off in monthly intervals.

Do they have any sort of reopening strategy or is the plan to keep postponing it for the next four hundred years?
