It might not be advisable to avoid these calls, or refuse taking the test, as it might result in some fines, although I'm not sure how strict or fullprrof this system is.
I refused the whole thing in December at YYC. Just walked out after being randomly selected. I never got a call...and haven't had a problem at CBSA in three subsequent arrivals. That said, I never answer calls with an unknown or unidentified number, so they may have tried. In any event, I highly doubt there'll ever be a follow up or a fine. They, too, know it's all theatre.
