On Friday, Public Security Minister Bill Blair announced via Twitter that the Canadian federal government had taken the decision to impose greater restrictions for at least another month to curb the spread of the coronavirus, which will last until September 30 and possibly even extend until September 30. The quarantine order was originally scheduled to expire on August 31.
In his tweet, Blair said: “Our government is extending existing restrictions to foreigners in Canada for a month, until September 30, 2020, to restrict the advent and spread of COVID-19 in our communities. He continued to tweet: “Canadian citizens and permanent citizens returning to Canada will continue to be subject to strict quarantine measures. Here you must have exemptions and other important points. “
The new quarantine extension does not comply with current regulations for ground travel between Canada and the United States. The ban on border travel has recently been extended until 21 September 2020, with more likely extensions.
Strict quarantine regulations for foreigners have been in place since March 25, 2020. Restrictions were enacted as an emergency order under the Canada Quarantine Act to assist Covid-19.

Travelers from Canada must:
Remember that no foreign resident (unless there are multiple exemptions, see below) can enter the country. The order reads: “No foreign citizen should enter Canada if he arrives from a foreign country other than the United States. “Exceptions come with must-have workers, an immediate circle of relatives members of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, flight crews, and more. More detailed information on exemptions can be found on this government website.
Some special exemptions have recently been followed for U. S. citizens, adding customary spouses and stepchildren. You can learn more about exceptions here.
In addition, even if a user falls within indexed exemptions, almost all (except flight crews and workers, freight carriers, and more) will have to comply with 14-day quarantine rules.
Please note that there are other national regulations in Canada. You can learn more about national regulations here.
Interestingly, Air Canada, Canada’s largest airline, recently recommended that the Canadian government withdraw quarantine restrictions, but it really isn’t. Air Canada President and CEO Calin Rovinescu reported that most of the airline’s profit losses were the result of “Canada’s devastating and unprecedented pandemic . . . COVID-19, government-imposed restrictions and border and quarantine requirements. “Rovinescu added that “[. . . ] Canada’s federal and interprovincial restrictions are among the most serious in the world.
