My question was whether Canadian border officials will accept a PCR test that shows a date three days prior to arrival, but does not show a time that the test was taken.
Have you checked Walgreens recently?
Appointments readily available within 48 hours and some even next day for ID NOW at most Walgreens offering ID NOW in VT and bordering states. It was pretty difficult to get an appointment about 3 weeks ago but that doesn’t seem to be case anymore.
CBSA site and ArriveCAN are very clear on what the requirements are.

Even if you find someone here stating there were able to get in with a test matching your question, it doesn’t mean the CBSA officer you encounter will allow for it.
I recommend getting a test that meet published requirements instead of trying to find out if someone was successful at skirting/negotiating around those requirements because chances are it would be useless at gaining entry unless you happen to encounter the same misinformed CBSA agent.
