Flew on Wednesday with Transat out of Toronto. Girl in front of me in the queue (it was her second time queuing!) was sent to go and get a covid test at the airport testing facility for the flight to Lisbon when she tried to check in / bag drop. The agent doing my bag drop did not ask to see my certificate (I deliberately did not show I had it as I was intrigued as to whether I would be asked per this thread) so in true Flyertalk fashion, YMMV. Glad I had it though, as the line was over 2 hours to drop my bag, and if they sent me to go and get the test and queue again like that girl had to, I would have a) missed by flight and b) not been a happy bunny.
Nothing was requested on landing, I used the e-gates and was straight through.
Returning to Canada they checked vaccine certificates and marked the back of the passport with an identifier which they checked again at the gate.
ETA - just saw on the other thread that apparently as of July 1 no testing needed. So moot I guess! Ah well, just reporting back!!
