An antigen test is different than a PCR test. PCR is basically more "accurate" than an antigen test.
Canada specifically requires a negative PCR test so your antigen test might be denied.
See the difference : https://horizon-magazine.eu/article...five-things-know-about-coronavirus-tests.html
Knowing how things move down here, you will probably be able to buy a "tested negative"Ya lol I thought the same. I will be getting the print out from them and doing it closest to the 72 hours as possible.
from your local taxi cab driver on your next to the airport/ back home. Good luck.
PCR is up you nose with a rubber hose, just kidding its a cotton swab up your nose.....way up there
OK looked it up on Inet..all is clear.And understandable.
No way a PCR can be taken and guaranteed results within the 72 hour window as required; unless you are the only one being tested.
In my opinion anyway.
Will have to wait this one out until the way becomes less convoluted.
Yes you can either printed or online results within 48 hrs...North coast Sosua CMC for me easiest depends where you are there are 2-3 mobile labels North side ... rest of country more options...main thing it can be done readily..
Ok here is brain tease....( only written or electronic proof ) So printed not valid?
Q. Which COVID-19 tests are official/acceptable?
A. The test result must be from a lab accredited by an external organization (e.g., a government, a professional association or ISO accreditation). Only written or electronic proof of a negative lab test result (PCR test) conducted within 72 hours prior to boarding a flight to Canada will be accepted.

Do you know if any of the medical analysis labs on the North Coast are ISO certified? I’m sure they are government certified but that’s a lower standard. I’d be surprised if they have their ISO 15000 or 17000 accreditation. I think back to the high US tourism death rate scare in Punta Cana and the FBI coming in to collect their own samples due to the problems with samples collected and sent to DR labs.
OR ISO certified.... not must be certified ISO...most hospitals are Government compliant... but I saw Lab Techs pour blood samples from one vial to another....which ISO would say it is compromised. Ho hum! I will wait until April until all this crap has settled down. Then travel to Canada.
Not to forget the taxi driver on the way to the airport will supply you the ISO certification. I read nothing on the Canadian web site about certification..........DID YOU?
Correct. The test procedures and result indicators are easy to apply and read. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to administer these tests. Simply follow the instructions. Quality control is the issue and that includes the training level of the staff administering the tests. ISO certification is highly dependent on quality control measures used by labs. ISO certification is not a Canadian government requirement for the DR medical labs doing the Covid test to re-enter Canada. It is, however, nice to have. It lends credibility to your lab analysis. It’s mandatory for lab forensic analysis for legal reasons. Without it your results can be called into question for things like sample collection procedures, sample chain of custody, sample storage and security. That’s why the DR government requested sampling assistance from the FBI when the Punta Cana AI’s were hit with a large number of unexplained US tourist deaths. DR labs don’t have the certifications required to meet the US legal requirements.
I think they asked for FBI assistance so it wouldn't look like they were hiding any results.
Me too, but with past experiences by myself and friends at CMC I am guessing an "unforseen glitch" is in Harley's future. Can almost be guaranteed.
Bob. Your correct. Public perception was one of the reasons for their request. The other reasons were sample integrity and their ability to analyze toxic component levels.
There were questions about the validity of the initial blood samples collected and when they were collected from the deceased tourists. The DR government admitted they had concerns about the samples, because they didn’t cover all the forensic parameters. One of the causes of death was suspected exposure to pesticides. You need blood, fat tissue, and other body samples, to find pesticide levels in human bodies.
The FBI has parts per quadrillion analytical capability for toxics. We have the same thing in Canada. When the deaths occurred, the DR didn’t have that capability. They may have it now but I doubt it. Parts per million analytical capability which they have, is more than adequate for medical labs, university labs, but forensic sampling is more stringent.
The latest Canadian Covid testing entry crap generated by Quebec’s pandemic management will be gone well before April, mi amigo. I’ll go out on a limb and say it will be gone by the end of January or the middle of February due to political blowback and logistical problems.
Now that your not a Canadian citizen, you have the option of becoming a certified Newfoundland aboriginal. I’ll fax you the application form! 😂
