TRAVEL DOCUMENT FOR RETURNING TO CANADA

PLEASE ASK FOR NAMES/IDENTIFICATION FROM EVERYONE YOU SPEAK WITH

I, have full capacity to make medical decisions and am in good health and have not been exposed to anyone with COVID.  Please be advised that I do not consent to a COVID test, quarantine or having my rights violated by disclosing my confidential medical information.  

Anticipated questions from border services/screening agents, etc:


1. If they ask if you have ArriveCan:

“No, I have not installed the app as my phone is my personal property and I have the right to enjoyment of property under section 1(a) of the Canadian Bill of Rights.”

2. When asking if you are vaccinated:
“That is my private and confidential medical information and I do not feel comfortable sharing it and my right to medical privacy is protected under privacy laws and the Canadian Bill of Rights, section 1(a).”

3. If they assume your vaccination status/insist you test:
“What medical qualifications do you have to confirm a diagnosis; assuming my vaccine status is a diagnosis and ordering me to do a COVID test is a diagnostic tool. Please provide the appropriate medical qualifications.”

“Forcing me into a test is a violation of informed consent, and section 1(a) of the Bill, right to life, liberty and security of person.”

4. If they threaten you for not wearing a mask, being unvaxxed or refusing testing:

“What authorizes you to violate my right to informed consent with regards to a medical procedure? Being forced to wear a mask, take a COVID test and to take a vaccine are all violations of provincial legislation regarding the right to informed consent. Furthermore, you are committing extortion by asking me to share my confidential medical information in order to enter into Canada.”

3. If they ask you to go to secondary:

“Officer, AM I BEING DETAINED, OR AM I FREE TO GO?”

It they state you are NOT being detained, LEAVE immediately, do NOT pull into secondary nor speak to public health. Tell the agent you are leaving and LEAVE.

If they say yes, you are being detained then ask them to cite the legislation and the specific section of the legislation that allows you to detain you. If they cannot cite it, state you are going to continue on your way.

IF they are holding your passport so you cannot leave or force you into secondary by indicating you would be running the border, then YOU inform them you are being illegally detained and by detaining you may lead to criminal and civil charges against them as this is a very serious matter.

The Quarantine Act states:

Provision for detainment in the Quarantine Act:

Section 32 A quarantine officer shall not detain a traveller if

(a) the quarantine officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the traveller does not pose a risk of significant harm to public health;

(b) the traveller is transferred to a public health authority under section 33;

(c) the release of the traveller is ordered under subsection 29(6) or section 30; or

(d) the quarantine officer has reasonable grounds to believe that other reasonable means are available to prevent or control a risk of significant harm to public health.

If you are ticketed, take the ticket with grace and fight it using the Bill of Rights.
