If it was me, I would use Switch Health COVID-19 RT-LAMP TEST KIT ($149) and could be used the day before your flight home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refer to the attached article. That's why I suggested Switch Health. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/time-for-canada-to-revisit-pre-entry-covid-test-for-canadian-travellers-experts-say/ar-AASUGM4?li=AAggNb9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginnyfyr Posted January 19, 2022 #5 Share Posted January 19, 2022 We got ours at the Nomi health site right at Miami airport. $179 US per person for rapid results I believe within an hour (forgive me - we came home in November and I don't recall exactly what the timing was). We had our results in less than 20 minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiring soon Posted January 19, 2022 #6 Share Posted January 19, 2022 HI all! I also used Nomi Health at MIA in November. I made the appt 2 days before, paid $179 US on the credit card, they didn't take cash, & had my results back quickly. Hope this helps. Stay safe. ~ Jo ~ 😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intr3pid Posted January 21, 2022 #8 Share Posted January 21, 2022 You don't need a PCR test to get back into Canada. It can be any NAAT or molecular test. You can get a rapid one (ID NOW) at many Walgreens. Results in one to two hours, and totally free. The only caveat is that you have to book your appointment about a week in advance - or as soon as they open up the new dates. These free test appointments are snapped up in no time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
