What are you guys doing for PCR testing coming back into Canada? From what I gather you don’t need it to fly down to Mexico but you will for re-entry into the country. I’m looking to go end of November

The hotel we stay at does that the day before we leave, for a few bucks

So what happens if you get a positive test? You have to stay at the resort forever?

Wouldn’t that be awesome! Actually that’s a pretty good question. Will they let them stay or go off site to a hotel?

My sister just told me she has clients that got an NAAT test at Walgreens in US for free and Canada accepts that as well? Have to do some reading up on that tonight

We have friends that apparently did exactly that and came back no problem. You do need to give Walgreens an American address but just use wherever you’re staying.

All resorts are different. $90 is cheap. Most are $160+ and a lot are $250, all in USD. I don't really want to pay $500 CAD extra for 2 tests, so waiting for this requirement to lift.

Airports in Mexico is the cheapest. $94 CAD at PVR for PCR test. Air Canada is also offering at $150 CAD test you do yourself while online with someone to witness with results in 45 mins.

Once the requirements lift expect prices to soar for the hotels/flights…. Enjoy them while they’re cheap.

How does that work for the ArriveCAN App? Won’t the test result documentation be messed up for play it by the book Canadian border personnel?

Great place to cross, no tests or passport.

Dreams will let you stay at their resort, but you must quarantine in your room... No extra charge.
We've already looked into all the worst case scenarios

Hmm not sure but apparently they did all this and had no problem getting back in. Maybe the Walgreens test document can be scanned into the app?
My wife is heading down for a little vacay in a couple weeks so I can confirm it’s all legit when she gets back. She’s the guinea pig before we take the whole fam down to the in laws in Feb.
