We are driving to Cooperstown early Wednesday morning. This now seems like a bad idea. a)do we have to do further ArriveCan info for our "trip" across the border to Hertz in NY and then back to our hotel on the CA side? b)this also seems to set us up for another chance at random testing. I know some here say that there is no testing at land borders but that directly contradicts the information on the CA govt website. Land testing was never suspended even when the random air arrival testing was briefly suspended earlier this summer. I am now wondering if we should just stay in Canada and pick up our car Wednesday morning. The reason we were trying to avoid this is it's my understanding Uber/Lyft will not drive you across the border. We need to leave early Wednesday, so trying to cross the border on foot (with all our luggage for a 9 day trip) then get a Lyft to Hertz on the NY side seems like a giant pain. Any advice on that end (assuming I'm not in a 10 day quarantine)? I'm paranoid enough that I'd cancel this trip if it wasn't too late. :(

You can also pick up the rental car in Canada and drop it off in the US, although it might be more expensive.
Two weeks ago, when I was in YUL at the enterprise-rent-a-car desk, and I noticed an American tourist who did exactly that. The agent told him that they're giving him a rental car with a US license plate, since he was goint to drive to the US and return it there (at least that's what I could gather from their conversation).

Got randomly selected today on my return from MKE. I had stopped for lunch after landing and was literally across the street from the off site testing facility at International Centre when I got the email, so went in there and was in and out in a minute. But seriously thought about saying .... it and not even bothering to order the at home kit, maybe next time.

I do think this new email notification thing is infinitely worse than the old system of testing you right at the airport, or even better, handing you an at-home box as you leave. Don't know what idiot in Ottawa thought it was a good idea.

Wondering if next time, I can just drive to Buffalo and re-enter on a new ArriveCan submission instead.

Any updated info on:

1) what happens if you ignore the email (it went to your spam folder, and you didn’t check it) and you don’t answer phone calls from unknown numbers.

thanks

Yes. Once you exit Canada there is no further requirement. Reentering Canada starts the process over again from scratch.

2) it seems there is no way to provide a prior positive test result from the last 6 months, but someone mentioned that the automated phone call asks if that’s why you haven’t submitted a test specimen. So what happens if you choose that option on the phone system when they call you?

thanks

I don't know what happens if you select the "exempt" option in the automated call

So if I'm understanding all of this correctly, a nonstop transborder flight such as SEA-YYJ/YEG/YLW there would be no random COVID testing requirement whatsoever?

Additionally, how would a flight going say DEN-YYC-YLW be handled where YYC is only a connection. Do you do complete the test in YLW?
