Hello. Anyone who is fully vaccinated recently traveled to Canada? The last update I got was that fully vaccinated do not need to take Day 1 testing.
However, the link https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/covid-vaccinated-travellers-entering-canada was updated on 10th August and it says that fully vaccinated still need to take day 1 test...

You can be selected for a test especially if you come from a country where there have been many cases arriving from the area.

Hey, so just to clarify, if we do have to do the arrival test - do we have to show a hotel booking till the results come out ?

I’ll be staying with some friends so I don’t think that will count as an adequate quarantine plan.

The website says that “You do not need to quarantine while awaiting test results”

So I’m a bit confused on what to do exactly

If you need to the random test, you have to do it. Otherwise, you can be fined.

That’s good!
So if I May ask what did you put as your quarantine plan in the ArriveCAN app ? And as I stated before I’ll be staying with friends so will it be acceptable to the border agent ?

I was staying in a hotel so I could say that I can quarantine if I needed to. you’ll need to be able to fully isolate and have access to your own bathroom if you’re going to be staying with friends.
