I was told that it would be available approximately 2 weeks after receiving the second shot...Unfortunately this has not been the case.

Mine is there but only partly filled in.

They did but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.

I was able to get through on the Government web site at 5:00 A.M. this morning and they sent a "certificado de vacunacion" to my e-mail address.

Did you receive the email?

Yes, it came through in about 30 minutes.

Ok, thanks. I entered my wife's info and haven't received the email yet. Been about an hour.

I did it at 5:00 A.M. when their web site probably wasn't that busy.

When you do get the email it will be useless as there is a 90 minute time limit from the request. You might get lucky but I doubt it.

Got it 2 hours later and it is expired.

Try early in the morning.

I got my certificate this morning around 8 AM. They left out the data for the 2nd shot.

There is another link on that email where you can apply for corrections.

Give us a break, we are working as hard as we can to input/ output this data.

Got mine at 9am and it was correct!

Yes WHO did but the US CDC has not.

Quite a few people are mixing vaccines.

We had 2 Sinovac in Chapala and getting our second Phizer this week in Canada.

I got mine weeks ago.

The government said it will assess and consider approving other Covid-19 vaccines at a later date.  

If you’re a fully vaccinated Canadian citizen or resident and planning on returning to Canada at some point, it may be prudent to check with Health Canada before booking travel if you haven’t received one of the 4 currently approved vaccines.  

If you plan on driving back you still can't cross the Mexican/US border by land.

Yes, WHO did but the US CDC didn't.

Like airline tickets, booking several weeks ahead can get you lower prices than close to the dates. Maybe it was expensive for your friends because of that.
There are only 5 govt. quarantine hotels in Calgary, and most were in the over $800 range- I was surprised this one was so much less (it's the Best Western). Hopefully the food will be edible :-)

The thing is, all the flights from P.V. to B.C. go via Calgary, except for Saturday flights, and the Saturday dates didn't work for me, so I didn't exactly choose to stay in Calgary.

I would like to drive back to Canada so I can take some of my stuff and my dog. But it is not possible at present.

I missed that where was it reported.

Didn't help me, of course, travelling to Ottawa on August 6. Three days after I got approval to skip the gov't hotel requirement (when did that make any sense), they cancelled that step anyway.

However, I guess having been double-vaxxed with any version helped my trip: At Toronto Pearson, Immigration walked me right by the testing table. On the other hand, nobody told me I would need a Day 1 and Day 8 test until I got an email 4 days later. There is absolutely no information on any Federal gov't Website about these tests: trust me, I scoured. I was also informed in that email that I needed to call in to a HealthWatch number every day to report any symptoms or lack thereof.

On day 5, I got a phone call from HealthWatch to "see how I was doing", part of the infamous checking in on quarantines. The next morning, an official came to my door to "see how I was doing". Both people, noting that I had been double-vaxxed, said "Okay, then, you're okay and you can ignore any more messages". But neither commented on the fact that it was Sinovac, so I was still not sure about my quarantine situation. Thus, I snuck out to shop and eat on numerous occasions. After that I never called in again. And I never heard from them again.

Everyone, everywhere, work masks and tried to distance (except at the Business lounge in Houston on my way back, where NO ONE wore a mask except employees).

One interesting sidenote: a link in the email from the Federal gov't "for more information" had me speaking with a woman who "before we continue" was offering a special deal on a Medical Alert device. At that point, she asked if I could hear her okay. Damn! I said yes and then realized I was talking to a recording. Some sneaky service was recording my "yes" to use against me at some point, as in other scams we've heard of around here. I hung up and reported this to the person who contacted me via phone, who told me she had never heard of such a thing and had no way of reporting it.

I plan to report the incident somehow to the authorities. I hope nothing comes of my faux pas.
