Needed a negative test within 72 hours of crossing so got tested Wednesday morning and had results back that night. Downloaded and filled out the ArriveCAN app prior to getting to the border which only took about 10 minutes and wasn't too hard.  At the border the agent asked the standard questions plus a few of the typical covid ones. He scanned the barcode on the ArriveCAN apps so had all of that info. The only really dumb thing was I was "randomly selected" to take a rapid test. They gave me the kit with instructions to take the test when I get to my destination. called the number with the test and they said I need to schedule the test with one of their nurses who watch you do the test through a video call. You then package up the test and they send someone to collect it and 2-3 days after they receive the test they let you know the results and if positive will need to quarantine. By the time I got to hotel it was after hours to test so the service told me to test on Saturday and they would send someone to pick it up on Sunday and then either tue or wed they would let me know results. I told them multiple times I am leaving sunday so there is no point. The guy was persistent but when ask if I HAVE TO take the test he said "well just try to complete the test". I did not take the test, came home yesterday afternoon and Canadian authorities have yet to track me down and send me to jail. It was annoying and some additional effort but for me it was worth it. I'll likely be going back at least once more in March. I've heard they are planning to start loosening restriction in the next couple weeks but don't know any details.</p></blockquote><p></p>
