The two travellers faked the documents that they had uploaded to the government’s ArriveCAN travel website.

The Canada Border Services Agency discovered the fraud committed by the two, who were identified as Canadian citizens.

“The Government of Canada will continue to investigate incidents reported and will not hesitate to take enforcement action where it is warranted to protect the health of Canadians from the further spread of Covid-19 and its variants of concern,” the Public Health Agency of Canada said in a statement.

Ghana has been having similar issues with travellers proving their covid status as the tests are reportedly being sold to the highest bidder in typical Ghanaian corruption style.
