Aug 30, 2021You need to complete the AriveCAN input each time you cross into Canada. The COVID test has to be a PCR test approved for travel. If you cross a couple times within the 72 hour window of a negative test you should be fine otherwise you will need a test each time.
Here in the northeast approved PCR test with typically cost $150-$200 per person so it can be an expensive venture. There are likely cheaper tests available that meet approval but with no guarantee of the 72 hour timing.
