Let's all have the same thought, no more testing to come back home to Canada - that would make planning so less complicated
And since we'd only have to isolate for 5 days in the US (the 10 day rule is only to cross the border), that leaves another 5 days of fun! That's turning a negative into a positive!
I haven't been following the rules closely, but if you test positive, couldn't you just do another RAT in 5 days or so, and if negative, you're good to go?The crappy thing is, if you test positive with your antigen test, you'll need a positive PCR test to even get back into Canada - but you have to wait 10 days after your positive PCR.
We're driving and flying through Seattle and doing all our testing there. At least we won't have to rebook flights if one of us tests positive. And with most people not wearing masks at DLR anymore, the chances of testing positive are a lot higher than they've been in the past!
Of course we're still hoping they drop the test altogether!!!! Fingers crossed
No. Current testing rules for re-entry to Canada are a negative antigen test within 24hrs OR negative PCR within 72 hours OR positive PCR on days 11-180.

Isolation rules in the US were 5 days after testing positive, but not sure if that's changed. So you'll have an extra 5 days st DLR if you want! Lol
Wouldn’t that be amazing?! I ordered the switch health antigen kits on Monday and I still haven’t gotten a shipping notice so now I’m starting to get nervous that they won’t come before we leave on Thursday night!
That's exactly why we're sticking with a PCR test 72 hours before departure for WDW March Break. We'll get to enjoy the final three days without worry if all goes well with the tests, and if not, we've only got an extra seven days from the end of the original vacation and we don't have to go and find a PCR test because we'll have one.The crappy thing is, if you test positive with your antigen test, you'll need a positive PCR test to even get back into Canada - but you have to wait 10 days after your positive PCR.

That's a bit odd in my experience with them. I would call or email to follow up. They usually come quick (less than a week) for us. So hopefully Monday, but definitely follow up to flag it for them just in case something did go wrong on their end.
Yeah we’ve ordered from them twice before and had the test kits within a few days each time! I thought it was strange too!
That's true, but doing daily regular or daily PCR tests during that time period would not necessarily be cheap or easy, depending on where you are. But maybe one after five days or so could be worth it for sure. You never know.
We're paranoid, so we have backups for our backups lol. But I just checked my latest. I ordered some backup antigen tests (we have their RT LAMPs for 72 hours) on March 2. I got the shipping notice on March 3 and I just checked the Purolator tracking and the order is at the local Purolator depot scheduled to arrive on Monday. So four business days and I did not pay for express shipping.
I'm hoping for that too. But from the rumblings I've heard, the first thing they'll do is once again say no need for testing for land border crossings of less than 72 hours. I have a feeling it'll be awhile for flights. Hopefully by the summer though.
You could still do free daily/bi- daily antigen tests at Walgreens after your PCR until you get a negative. That's the option I will have in my back pocket if one of us tests positive.
