Taking a rapid antigen test at home is not sufficient to meet the pre-entry requirement – it must be authorized by the country in which it was purchased and must be administered by a laboratory, healthcare entity or telehealth service.

Is emed a "telehealth service"?

I'm not sure if anyone looks at what you upload to ArriveCan until you're at the border.

"Ontario is set to drop most mask mandates — including in shops and restaurants, as well as all elementary and secondary schools on March 21, the Star has learned.

The announcement, expected Wednesday, signals another move by the province to return to as close to normal as possible after two years of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ontario’s chief medical officer of health Dr. Kieran Moore will announce the move at 11 a.m. at Queen’s Park, sources familiar with the change told the Star."

Nice. Do kids under 12 need negative tests in order to enter? Or just the adults? Rapids fine?

Only under age of 5 is exempt from test.

Antigen on day before arrival (not 24 hrs) or PCR/NAAT within 72 hrs before.

If not canadian then 18+ needs to be fully vaccinated, under 12 unvaccinated is fine as long as they're travelling with fully vaccinated parents, unvaccinated 12-17 yr olds can get in with fully vaccinated parents but officially have to quarantine and take home a rapid test.

Double check everything obviously but that's my understanding.
