It is a real pain entering Canada. I entered Aug 14 from Brazil. Had to jump thru all the hoops (I am Canadian.). I was selected for a random test on arrival. It is all theater. The tester barely touched my nose with the swab. The real problem is the PCR test. They cost at least US$100 in most places.
I entered Canada from the US again Sept 4. This time the app didn't record my details properly and I have been hounded by Arrive Can and staff to fill out the daily symptom checklist. The US PCR test btw was US$150.
To enter the US all that is needed is an antigen test. In many places those can be had for $40. But in Montreal the cheapest I have found is $150. All this covid nonsense sucks.
But it doesn't surprise me Americans aren't coming. I spent a week in Chicago last week - great fun. Ball games, concerts, restaurants, etc. Why come to Canada?
Remember it was racist to close the borders to China flights when this first started.
