I registered for celpip in Queens, NY and got an email telling me that I need to quarantine myself for 14 days to take the exam since I’m from out of state. How strict do they enforce that? I definitely don’t want to spend money on 2 weeks of hotel and planning on driving there.

OP - Risking life is not worth it for writing an exam.
Even if all goes well, Canada is facing the worst recession in its history, so moving there would be extremely tough.
I would wait until things go to normalcy (when there’s a vaccine)

I’m afraid my H1B won’t get approved and I need a solution fast

NAL but they aren’t enforcing it, and can’t enforce it due to the interstate commerce clause. But you should try to quarantine at home before the test to make sure you’re doing your part in keeping everyone safer.

Hi OP have you taken the test yet? I'm on the same boat here, registered for Queens, NY and then realized there's a 14 days quarantine requirement for people from my state :(
plan to drive there too.

Yeah actually Alexandria was the location I originally planned to register for, it's closer to me too. But all the spots have already taken by the time I decided to register, and I've been checking the page regularly, so far not much luck. I can't even see the "sold out" status anymore when I select Alexandria, not sure what's going on there.
Guess I'll keep checking their page and see if I get lucky. Thanks OP!
