They were clearly asking people a lot of questions - the guy ahead of me was questioned for over 10 minutes. When I got there, they asked me why I was driving across instead of flying and I told them it was because I have a safe place to quarantine and wanted to avoid the hotel situation. The agent said that they're required to ask this question now of everyone. So I hope it's not so that Doug Ford can bring up our verbatim responses in his next press conference, but I saw no harm in just telling it straight. I had to show my ArriveCAN number (I didn't download the app and just registered online), and my negative COVID test. I also then had to read a statement where I pledged to follow the rules of the quarantine act. I then took the COVID test onsite and was off.

I'm a returning resident and had to declare my goods to follow, so I needed to go to secondary screening to get my documents / inventory checked and stamped for my goods shipment in a couple of months, but outside of that bit, the routine questions took maybe 5 minutes.

I have been to this site off and on over the years when I was traveling frequently for work. When I was researching this trip, I was frustrated by the lack of information without the side helping of judgement on travel / crossing the border in the age of COVID. I really appreciated the GOOD information on this site - it's probably the only place where I found accurate, clear information from people who have done it. Frequent travelers are definitely my people.
