Would not your headline have been more accurate and less dramatic for members here other than Can. citizens if it stated that? Just saying WW. Dramatic but misleading, just a tad.

.Correct. I went for my PCR test yesterday and realized that I might come up short a few HOURS for Monday's flight. (72 hours) When I mentioned to the nurse and doctor in the reception area a gentleman filling out his med form popped up and said "Are you serious?" Dr says ..it's possible.". I said see you tomorrow. (I had the test this morning. Will have results tomorrow.)
The devil is in the details.
See it seems your not getting it, they are doing it to inconvenience you not to travels it’s really simple concept! Most want them to go further and ban all travel! They don’t care what a handful of cranky expats say or want.
yes, might have been.....Would not your headline have been more accurate and less dramatic for members here other than Can. citizens if it stated that? Just saying WW. Dramatic but misleading, just a tad.
but seeing as the thread title specifies Canada....... I thought it a propos.... (French)
Really. have you ever lived here? If so you would understand the $500 CDN a month is just the rent and utility expenses.
Food and living is cheap..
More like a pleasant dream not a nightmare.
But I respect your opinion and hope you live well where ever you are.
This is my first post! I’ve followed the forum for years but never have chimed in. I wanted to say that the reasoning behind the 3 day hotel quarantine was because they require the results from PCR tests not the rapid test. The rapid tests have a high percentage of false negatives. The rapid tests aren’t reliable enough to detect Covid in people if the virus has been newly transmitted.
I’m not picking sides! I’m not saying that info is factual, I’m no expert, I’m just relaying what I saw on a news report from last evening here in the Great White North.

Why would they need results from a second PCR test when the first PCR test was done just a few days earlier (before departure) and came back negative.
No, the fact is they just dont want people to travel and going for people's wallets is the best deterrent they can use. And it's effective.

Not sure that litigation is the main reason for the backtracking. It was always going to be a problem convincing Canadians in February to be rescued from the Caribbean and shipped home to Canada, regardless of the $2000 fee. The flights would have been empty going down and back.
This isn't likely going to be the end of it as the government will probably make a few minor changes and have another go at it shortly.

Not surprised SM. The cracks in the draconian decision based on a fallacy are starting to appear. They are what they are. Covid concentration camps disguised as hotels. A throw back to the Canadian Japanese internment camps during the Second World War. The whole premise for the decision to do this to limit the spread of the variants is now in the toilet.
Any judge would look at the latest rapid PCR testing technology approved by Health Canada, the Bioscience one with the high degree of accuracy, and ask why are Canadian citizens being detained for three days when a one hour test is readily available? The pushback on the Covid concentration camps will get stronger despite the media saying the majority of Canadians want this. I sure many do want international travel limited but not by severe measures.
Also remember this decision clearly discriminates against Canadian DR expats and tourists as long as the Canada to Florida and Arizona flight routes remain open. Any judge would see that as a major loophole and discriminatory.
It’s not Newsmax. It’s a release from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Reform. They are echoing what I have been posting on this thread since the Covid concentration camps were proposed. I said the implementation would be modified and it will. There are other ways of limiting international travel without restricting our freedoms. Getting the airlines to voluntarily stop flying is one of them.
JD. There might be some truth in that. 😆Margaret Atwood, the famous Canadian author said, “Never underestimate the power of a small group of people to change things”. If I can get back to the DR via Florida and only have to deal with testing requirements and no Covid concentration camps on my return to Canada, I’ll be happy with that.
You should probably get a clue. They have them on sale at Jumbo in the DF department.
Are you trying to be comical? Because you are succeeding!

Litigation was expected and that's why there is no travel ban.
It could get cancelled but there is no evidence of this now.

When will the hotel quarantine rule take effect?
The start date is still up in the air.Transport Minister Omar Alghabra suggested last Sunday that air passengers could be ushered into hotels as early as Feb. 4.
But on Feb, 2, Trudeau indicated that it could be weeks before the hotel quarantine requirement takes effect.
"We hope to have that implemented within the month — weeks to come," he said in French at a news conference.
"People are working very hard to create a system so that it is established before people start travelling for the March break."
