Is anybody here experienced with entry back into Canada lately, particularly when travelling with a toddler? Planning a trip for end of January/Early February (so I know things can change between now and then), and looking at the current re-entry guidelines, I am trying to figure out if my son (4 years old) will have to miss 2 weeks of daycare upon return to Canada. Website is not the clearest:
travel.gc.ca
In one part, under the Children and Families section, it says this:
But then, if you click on the "qualifies for the fully vaccinated traveller exemption" link and read through, it says this:
Does the restrictions in this second part apply to kids who are under 5? If so, what is the point of the quarantine exemption statement in the first part? I tried calling the number to speak to someone about it, and wasn't filled with confidence on the answer given by the person who i was speaking to (feel like they are just trained to say if you are Canadian, you can enter, and if you have symptoms or a positive test, you must quarantine, not much beyond that).
Does anybody here know? Just seems crazy that if you need to leave the country with a child who is healthy, and not able to get a vaccine, upon your return you are essentially put into quarantine, or havnig to take extra time off work because said child is unable to go to childcare, despite being perfectly healthy.
