"If it's a family travelling together & the parents are fully vaccinated but the children are not, then the children have to quarantine at home for 14 days and go through testing requirements but the parents will be allowed to leave the home after a negative arrival test."

doesn't that seem a bit ... silly to anyone? IS the baby expected to keep 6 feet distance and wear a mask when the parents are around?

It saves a lot of time if you register for your switch health account ahead of time. Note each traveller must have their own switch health account vs arrivecan which is one per family.

Family members can all be on one account. After you register, just go back in and add dependents. Dependents can be spouse etc, not necessarily an actual ‘dependent’. Mr. Fink is on my account as a dependent and we have had no problems. It also makes doing the (previous) day 8 test a lot easier. Just look for the “Add Dependent” tab.
From Switch help:
Can I access the results of a family member?
Yes. Our patient portal, ASMO (https://portal.switchhealth.ca) allows you to set up a family member as a dependent. Under your patient profile, go to “Dependents” and add your family member.

This page never shows up for me, all I see is choose entry by land or air. Tried Safari and Chrome. Yet nothing.

Honestly must be a glitch, I cannot find anywhere to log out. All I get is the red "arrive by plane or arrive by land" option.

Have you already registered with an email and password? It sounds like you haven’t. Just say plane. It doesn’t matter. I registered weeks before I arrived. Finish registering and then follow the steps above. If you have already registered, again say plane and it will take you to the log in screen. I just tried on both Safari and Chrome.

If I choose plane, as you suggest, it asks for all my arrival info, as though I have already arrived back in Canada.
Currently have tried safari and chrome on both iPhone and Macbook. Now trying Chrome incognito on a PC. I feel like a luddite, when I am normally the person people call for tech support. Ugh
I will reach out to their support, I have taken up far too much of your time. Thank you.

Yes registered with an email and password, got 6 digit code by text. When I log in it asks if I have entered Canada in the last 14 days, I say no, then it takes me to the red "arrive by air or land" page.

I am still struggling to find out if a vaccinated traveller after 7/5 must still quarantine for the first +/-24 hours until they receive their negative test result or if they are free as soon as they enter Canada but must quarantine only if the test result comes back positive.
