Canada Closed until US Gets Covid 19 Under Control

[BFD]

Yea great news. Am driving up to AK early April. Can quit checking this thread. Just have to hope for some good news in the gas thread.

An article I just read said it may go into effect as early as tomorrow.

I have no source but the dread god Finagle and his mad prophet Murphy, but since I just got a test that seems a near certainty.

Ha ha!! Agreed! Flight leaves in 4 hrs to Kelowna. Already tested and ready to go. This trip has been canceled 3 times over the past 2 years… Hoping the US will now lighten up so I can cancel my test to get back in…

Everything I've read suggests April 1st.

Leave it to the Canadian government to choose April Fool's Day.

You know that ^^ would be by misteak cuz the gov could fuck up a wet dream

people come up with all kinds of conspiracy theories about the Can gov but no they are just inept

I used to get stoned and deliver files to all the federal agencies in vangroovy back in the day, every dept you walked thru sucked

Canadian border today on ready to Montreal took 3 minutes at 0900.
Checked my antigen test result but didn't confirm my vaccination status.

One of my best friends did a stint with the Canadian Feds. He likened it to the Ministry of Silly Walks

Anyone cross the border lately? I’m curious how “random” the take-with-you Covid tests are… or if they just give them to just about everyone.

I've been up once in March and once in April and didn't get the random test either time (my wife either).

Haven't been given one in months.

What's entry protocol these days? Still need to fill out the app? Or just show up at the border with a passport and a vax card?

ArriveCAN still required.

[yeahman]

I think the app is here to stay.

Got it. Thanks!

In April I showed up in Rooseville. Was using my arrivecan code from previous November. Border guy said no go. Told me to go into customs building and redo. For some reason arrivecan would not take my vaccination card. Agent inside offered to help. He could not get it to work either. After a couple of tries he gave me the phone back. Said I trust you, have a nice trip.

If you are flying be prepared for long waits in the plane after landing and then long lines in arrivals. Don't even think about connecting flights unless there is several hours to make the connection.

Apparently Canadian airports are a shit show right now.

Not what I heard from my clients this weekend (8 MTBers, flying in from SFO, Newark and LAX).... said customs through Vancouver was super easy.

Of the 10 people coming into the US- my wife and I included- one was chosen for an on-the-spot random test. My wife and I drove through at the Peace Bridge at 8:30am on a Thursday, and there were no other cars in front of us. We had ArriveCAN filled out and it was smooth sailing.

Isn't it just Pearson (Toronto)?

[The Tortoise]

That would make sense.

Bump... no negative test required to re-enter the US starting on Sunday (June 12th). About damn time.

No doubt, glad the pressure campaign worked. Leaving the country next week so I'm pretty happy about the timing.

Got popped for a random test going north through roosville. I'm entirely impressed at what a mess that process is.
