There are rare exceptions, but whether you file a waiver, or a waiver AND an I-212 you simply get a waiver in return. That's why I tell clients to wait. Its an extra $930USD for the exact same waiver.

@ Bob, I can tell you that Canada Immigration is telling people to quarantine that have filed at the BC borders. Apparently, they have told our clients that they have to quarantine if they have stepped out of their vehicles to enter the CBP border station. I will assume that Niagara will say the same. The ARO director has already stated on 4/15/2021 that her agency will try to process waiver applications between 10 and 30 days upon receipt. However, this will likely change as more people file waivers.

@BobI94
I have seen both. 2 clients quarantined, 3 not. (all in the last week)
The latest guy told me he told them he didn't get out of his car, (which isn't actually true) but it seemed to work.
Officially, you have to quarantine. Unofficially, they aren't making everyone quarantine.
I client was a truck driver, so that seemed to make them not quarantine him.
This is at the Ontario/Niagara Falls/Rainbow Bridge Border only.
if we are going to cross border just to submit finger prints at Niagara or peace bridge border do we have to quarantine either in US or Canada after coming back? This is for person who is applying waiver renewal (waiver for non essential travel ). We are just going from GTA to border just to give finger prints and come back immediately.
Appreciate if any one can provide confirmed information..
This was actually woman "A" not sure why it was removed.
She had a 1 year waiver, re-application, criminal record in Canada.
Result - 5 year waiver. 13 days from fingerprinting.
Downside was he son went with her and now has to quarantine

So that is 8 days after fingerprinting. Result - 5 year waiver.
Pros - Super Fast
Cons - None, the officer said he should make him quarantine, he told them he was a truck driver, he said it was fine, no quarantine.
