Returning From the US

Anyone here return to canada in their GA (non-commercial) aircraft and land at an AOE, not one of the major airports?

For the record everyone, one of our guys recently commuted back to Canada on the airlines and because he couldn’t initially prove to them that he had a flight scheduled in the next 72hrs, the CBSA agent initially was going to force him into a quarantine hotel like a non exempt traveler. The Issue was worked out, but not without a scramble. This is a change to our previous experiences that reflected the previous posts. Before this, we had no major issues. My advice is that if you can’t prove you have scheduled work in the 72hrs following your arrival by airline, you may encounter some serious friction.

If you arrive operating your own aircraft, you won’t have a problem. It seems commuting crew on airlines have to be a bit more careful of late. Have a company letter, and have a copy of the schedule showing you have flight duty within 72hrs. Right or wrong, the front line officer has the discretion.

Is he driving a corporate machine or? Where he coming back from, I’m headed to Texas for a month and dreading the return

Canadian corporate aircraft, crew swap out.

My next trip in I’m supposed to relieve another AME, says to be very careful about ensuring both ways across the border are for work. Have your visa company info etc ready to go, he says he’s expecting no quarantine hotel but the mandatory quarantine regardless, he’s been vaccinated round 1 as well.
