SLP...I respect your research & am totally thrilled that Canada is now accepting the Antigen test ...but may I ask where it says that Antigen testing can be done 72 hours before a scheduled flight?
I've only found that PCR testing may be done 72 hours before and Antigen testing 24 hours before a scheduled flight to Canada.

Here's a quote from the press release issued Feb. 15/22 on the Government of Canada website...

"Travellers will now have the option of using a COVID-19 rapid antigen test result (taken the day prior to their scheduled flight or arrival at the land border or marine port of entry) or a molecular test result (taken no more than 72 hours before their scheduled flight or arrival at the land border or marine port of entry) to meet pre-entry requirements. 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."
