Daily Check-Ins Are Part Of The New Rules For Returning Canadian Travellers
Canada's travel rules have changed and if you're planning on taking a trip, you may have to check in with the government every day for two weeks when you get back.
Those who don't will be considered put on a "high-priority" list for follow-up by law enforcement.
The Public Health Agency of Canada released its new restrictions on Tuesday to combat the nation's rising COVID-19 levels.

Travellers who do not submit the mandatory information required after they have crossed the border will be considered a high priority for follow-up by law enforcement.

Travellers can use an app called ArriveCAN, but if they don't use it before boarding the plane back to Canada, they will need to call the COVID-19 hotline every day for 14 days when they get to wherever they're isolating.
On each call, they'll have to go over a list of COVID-19 symptoms and report whether they've got any of them.
The rules apply to all travellers who aren't exempt. Exemptions include health-care workers and flight crew.
The law enforcement visit to "verify compliance" would be above and beyond the up to $1,000 fine for not submitting the required information before boarding their flight.
Even with the cheap flights you can get these days, that could end up being a pretty pricey trip.
