I got nailed for random testing after getting back on Tuesday (e-mail, no ArriveCAN notification, despite what someone posted upthread). Requested online test. Apparently Purolator tried to deliver on Thursday, of which I got no notification. Yesterday afternoon, I got an e-mail saying I had a package to pick up. Of course, the place is only open business hours Monday-Friday, and since I didn't have time to pick it up in the brief window before they closed on Friday afternoon, I wouldn't be able to collect the kit until Monday.

I got the phone call this morning checking up on me. When I selected that I hadn't done the test yet, it offered me several options for why:
  1. Problems with the testing provider
  2. [Something else, I forget what]
  3. Decided not to do the test
  4. Have proof of positive molecular test in previous 10-180 days

Now, I was going to be a good citizen and do the test and hit option 1, but if I'm exempt, as is implied by option 4, I'm not going to bother.

I don't see anything on the mandatory testing page about an exemption for those who've recently had COVID and recovered. Anyone know anything about that? If there's no exemption, I'll just do the test so they don't hassle me.
So according to this would the strategy for those that have proof of a positive molecular test who are randomly selected to ignore and then wait and choose option 4 on the phone call? As I think there is still no way to show proof proactively?
