We were sent our our way and made our way to our domestic connection. Now today, we get an email from the Government of Canada saying one of us was selected for random mandatory testing, and that we should have had it done within 24 hours. We called the helpline listed in the email, and they had no idea what to say other than directing us to the CBSA website...who recommended we contact that original helpline for all COVID related questions. When we called back and the second \ person we were talking to said to not stress about it, and unless we hear from them again not to worry about it...which is difficult to do when that email is threatening fines.

We're more than happy to just get tested, but at this point aren't even sure how to go about doing it (and obviously don't want to pay out of pocket). Has anyone else run into a similar issue?
Ignore it. You both have green stickers. The emails go out to everyone. I still have 8 blue boxes sitting on my desk from mandatory tests from 2020 and 2021. No one cares or they would have flagged me long ago.
