Global news reported that out of the 11 approved hotels at the 4 Canadian airports accepting international travellers, the average nightly cost per room is $450 CDN for 2 people. That includes the room, food, security, transportation and cleaning.
Still a ripoff but not as bad as predicted by the Trudeau. Shop around as the 450 is the average so there is better prices out there

Travellers flying – this includes a mandatory 3 night pre-paid booking at a government-authorized hotel at your own cost.
Travellers driving – may proceed directly to your suitable place of quarantine.
You are not excluded from quarantine, even if you have:
- tested negative for COVID-19
- been vaccinated for COVID-19
- recovered from COVID-19
Towards the end of your quarantine, you will be required to take another COVID-19 test. You will be required to stay in your place of quarantine until you receive a negative test result.
Where can you quarantine
You'll need to confirm you have a suitable place to quarantine where you:
- stay for 14 days or possibly longer
- have access to the necessities of life, including water, food, medication and heat without leaving quarantine
- can avoid contact with others who did not travel with you
- have no guests
You cannot quarantine in a place where you will have contact with people who:
- are 65 years or older
- have underlying medical conditions
- have compromised immune systems
- work or assist in a facility, home or workplace that includes at-risk populations, including:
- Nurses, doctors, other healthcare professionals, personal support workers, social workers
- First responders, such as paramedics
- Cleaning and maintenance staff, receptionists and administrative staff, food services staff, volunteers, essential visitors to those living in long-term care facilities
You may only quarantine with people in these situations if:
- they consent to the quarantine or are the parent or minor in a parent-minor relationship
- you complete a form with a government representative at the port of entry explaining the consent and receive authorization to proceed
In these limited circumstances, a government representative will confirm consent.
Many travellers will be able to quarantine at home or at their Canadian destination.
Some travellers may be unable to quarantine at home or their final destination. In these cases, travellers are expected to make alternative arrangements for their return to Canada. Although alternative accommodations (e.g. with family or friends, or paid accommodation) may be suitable, the Government of Canada does not reimburse for expenses incurred for accommodations, including hotels, RV rentals and trailer park or campground fees.
You cannot quarantine in group living environments
