I crossed into Quebec today, visited friends, did some shopping and returned home. You must download the ArriveCAN app on your phone or computer. When filling out the require info on the app, you will need to attach a photo of your COVID vaccine record. You will also have to enter your passport, enhanced driver's license or Nexus card number. More questions regarding a place to quarantine, should you be so lucky as to get a random Covid test at the border and test positive (very unlikely) . The Canada Customs Officer wanted to see my Nexus card, and the lab report proving I had taken a molecular test within the past 72 hours and was negative. All the rest of my info was on the screen in from of him showing my ArriveCAN info. The Officers are a bit frustrated as polices and procedures are changing constantly. Some ports of entry are administering the random tests at a drive through tent at the border. That was the case where I crossed, although I was not pulled over for the random test. At other POEs, test kits are handed out, and you have to set up a zoom meeting so the nurse can watch you do the swap and talk you through it. Then, you have to fine a Purolator Courier (think UPS) service center to drop off the swab package for shipping. I talked to some folks who waited on hold for hours trying to get through to a nurse. You can find the list of POEs on line that provide the drive through test. When I returned to the US Customs, it was the usual questions and and required documents.
Lots of hoops to jump through, but WE CAN GO TO CANADA AGAIN !!!
