Getting into Canada:
I've created an account as directed, filled out all the passport and personal information, attached the pics of my 2 shots. When I hit the submit button it ("downloading your information") wont download it?
Do I have to wait until 3 days prior to travel to complete the arrivecan information?
Yes if I remember that is right
Thanks. I just got off the phone with Canada (1-833-283-7403) and verified that is correct - thanks.
Caution: the first web page I went to, looked legit. Entered all my personal info as well as my passport number, dates, etc, the last button wanted me to submit my credit card information. I knew this was supposed to be free so obviously I deleted everything.
When talking with the Canadian official he said there are a lot of scammers using the arrivecan info.
Here is the official address he gave me: www.canada.ca/ARRIVECAN ...... . If you are doing this on your phone app, make sure you see a black circle with a maple leaf in the middle, surrounded by 2 hands and at the bottom, the word Canada in white with 2 red dots over the last "a".
And as of now you still need a recent (<24 hrs) C-19 test to get in, although they are accepting a rapid test administered by a pharmacy at a minimum. That documentation can be a hard copy or via email on your phone as I understand….and hopefully going away sooner rather than later.
Edited as Hancock below is correct on timing of the antigen test.
The antigen test has to be administered the day of or the day before you arrive. For example even of you have a test at 12pm noon on thursday & your flight arrives at 5pm on friday you are ok. Its not necessarily a 24hour prior test but a day before test.
Did the ArriveCan yesterday and it said successfully sent. Had the test today and got email result. Heading to Sioux Lookout area tomorrow for about 6 days.
Whocares…….what’s on the agenda up in Sioux Lookout this time of year, for you?
t-roy - Hope it's not bear hunting. We're under 4 feet of snow! lol Gotta be ice fishing or wolf hunting?
4 feet adam!? Sounds like good whiskey drinking weather to me…
I would say APauls is pretty close with 4' ...have not seen snow like this in Ontario since 1990.
