Experience on Airport
Airport staff take the passengers to the lounge where they could check-in for the hotel booking for quarantine and send the one with booking ahead for the next process. For those who haven’t had the booking would need to book the hotel room for quarantine at the lounge.
Next process was for the checking of the hotel booking again, along with the declaration form and ArriveCan information. Then, passengers was sent to the immigration line. At the counter, the officer asks the basic questions, the purpose of travel to Canada and they check the documents.
Then, it’s time to collect the luggage and you won’t find it on the belt but instead it could be in one of the corner to take it by self one by one. You might be directed to take the Covid test. Airport staff would ask you to register on a health website by scanning a bar code. After the test is done, you will then be directed to the respective transport to the hotel.
Most of the process at airport are organized well to minimize hassle.
