Even if I can get a test, I would never get resutls back before I leave to come home.
Anyone been through Winnipeg?

I am going to ORD via YYZ from YOW on Wed, coming back on Saturday.
Does the government still exempt people who had recent covid from being selection for this later version of random airport off-site covid testing?
I had a covid infection less than 3 months ago.
What is the maximal time interval from the date of the covid infection that one is exempt from covid testing?
6 months?
Do I upload the proof of the covid infection to the Arrive Can app?
My proof is a positive pcr test from ON Dept of Health.

If you are flying direct to Winnipeg you’ll be fine. The program isn’t in place there. If you are connecting through another airport you may get selected.

This week I'm flying US-YYC-FCO. This won't apply to me since I'm not entering Canada, correct?
Also, what is the mask policy like now onboard and in the airports? A few weeks back I flew CLT-YUL on AA and none of the FAs had on masks, but told us we needed to wear them in the airport. After we landed we saw many other FAs without masks and they told us that the mandate had been dropped. We went through passport control without masks and nobody said a word to us. Is this still the case?
Thanks for the help!

Is the proof of infection uploaded onto the Arrive Can app?

I flew into YYZ, got a green sticker, and then went on my merry way. Three days later I get an SMS that I had been selected for "random" testing. By then I was already back in the US. I replied with that info, and that was the end of the matter (I hope). It's rather ferkakte. If I was selected for testing, why didn't I get a pink sticker? The previous time, my wife was selected, given a pink sticker, and did her test right at arrivals in YTZ.

Our trip is not until December - so I know a lot can change but just checking we are flying LAS-YUL (2 days)-VIE. If we get randomly picked and then test positive I realize we'll have to isolate for 48 hours, but will they let us leave?
It does have this on the current website, but not sure if that is still applicable under the current random test thing. I actually wish we had done a Molecular test because both of us just tested positive but now my husband is already testing negative so assuming that is too late as then we would have fallen under the 180-day recovery exception to random testing.

Hang on, I thought there was a 10 day quarantine if you tested positive? But if you were already due to leave the country before the ten days, you can?
So if I’m only due to stay for five days before flying back to the UK, but I test positive, I can still leave on the fifth day?
