For non-essential visitors entering Canada to go canoe-camping (‘discretionary travel’’ as they call it), I can’t see any situation where the quarantine plan would be an issue. If CBSA doesn’t believe you’ve been vaccinated, they will stop you from entering. If they don’t believe the result of your Covid19 test, they will stop you from entering. If they give you a random instant test and you fail, they will prevent you from entering. Or in any case, you yourself will choose not to enter, right? I mean, Who in their right mind is going to come to the border and then ‘quarantine away’ the entirety of their vacation time in a motel? Ridiculous. The quarantine plan was for people who were entering to stay, like new immigrants and international students, not short-term visitors.

  I have ZERO faith in the bureaucrats handling the Covid issue on either side of the border.

  They've flip-flopped numerous times. I hope what you say turns out to be true but I'll wait till next year to see how it all fleshes out.

  My concern was more about what happens if you get Covid AFTER they let you into Canada. People that have been vaccinated are getting Covid. Not as bad but they still have to quarantine.

Imagine the cost if you have to stay in that motel in Canada after a trip if you get sick there.
