Due to the Covid 19 pandemic and the rise of immigrants in Canada, the  Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at a press conference stated that from  February 22, international air travellers to Canada must take a COVID-19 test upon arrival and await the results of this test in a government-approved facility/hotel for up to three days.

The hotels are situated in the four Canadian cities that are currently accepting international air travel at this time: Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Montreal. More locations will be finalized in the coming days, according to the government webpage. It was also stated that air travellers must also take a quarantine test once they arrive at the airport. The estimated cost to travellers who must quarantine in a hotel is $2,000. Hotel staff are required to transport travellers from the airport to their destination, provide meals, and allow access to internet, TV and radio.

The list of the government authorized hotels for the quarantine include;
