Under new requirements for air travel that take effect February 22, 2021, when a student arrives in Canada, they must take a COVID-19 test before leaving the airport and spend 3 days in quarantine at a federal government-authorized hotel.
The Government of Canada has published its list of authorized hotels for COVID-19 mandatory hotel quarantine. Hotels can be booked by phone, by calling 1-800-294-8253; or by contacting the hotels directly.

With a clear Covid-19 test result, the student can proceed to the quarantine site identified in their quarantine plan. Ten-days into their quarantine, the student will use a take-home test provided at their arrival in Canada. A further clear result is required before leaving quarantine at 14 days.
