Failure to comply with this order is an offence under the Quarantine Act and could lead to fines, imprisonment or both.
Visits from law enforcement officers
Penalties, fines and imprisonment
Violating any instructions provided to you when you entered Canada is an offence under the Quarantine Act and could lead to up to:
6 months in prison and/or
$750,000 in fines
If you break your mandatory quarantine or isolation requirements and you cause the death or serious bodily harm to another person, you could face:
a fine of up to $1,000,000 or
imprisonment of up to 3 years or
both
The Contraventions Act provides police (including RCMP, provincial and local police) the authority to enforce the Quarantine Act. Tickets with fines of up to $5,000 may be issued for non-compliance.
If you receive a fine, you must still comply fully with the mandatory testing and quarantine requirements outlined in the Quarantine, Isolation and Other Obligations Order. Additionally, if you receive a fine, you’re considered at high-risk of non-compliance, and flagged as a high priority for follow up by local law enforcement.
Examples of behaviour that could result in the $5000 fine
With symptoms: Mandatory isolation
Foreign nationals with symptoms will not be allowed to enter Canada.
Only Canadian citizens, permanent residents, persons registered under the Indian Act, and protected persons (refugee status) may enter Canada with symptoms. You will not be able to board a flight and enter Canada by air if you have symptoms.
You must go directly to the place where you will isolate and stay there for 14 days. This is mandatory and starts from the date you arrive in Canada.
During the 14-day period from the time you enter Canada, you are required to answer any relevant questions asked by a Government of Canada employee.
Isolating upon returning to Canada
If you are arriving by air and show symptoms you will be directed to a federal quarantine facility or another suitable place of isolation.
If you are arriving by land and show symptoms, you must demonstrate that you have an adequate plan for isolation to avoid infecting others. You are expected to make plans, within your own means, before travelling to Canada. If you do not have a suitable place, you will be directed to a federal quarantine facility.
