I guess you can pass on ArriveCan at a kind border. I tried today and it's doable.
All you do is take the yellow slip the kiosk agent gives you, then park at the the intake office to review your status and learn about ArriveCan. Hopefully the line is short, the interview takes just under 10 minutes.
I took the kiosk agents advice, downloaded the app and did tge checkin. Took about 5 minutes, all I needed to do was show the confirmation code - on my way in 5 minutes.
A couple of freedums were exercising their right to enter Canada at the Rainbow Bridge.
When I left they were still explaining the rules to a couple of interested CBP fellas, they hadn't started their entry process yet. The border guards must have thought the freedums had covid, they both put on rubber gloves.

When you install ArriveCan app JTs secret spies start creeping your phone.
They use the camera to see where you are, the mic to hear everything you say and hear, and they read your txt and email communications. They know when you are sleeping, they know when you're awake.
Same kind of surveillance Santa put you under when you were a kid, so be good for goodness sake if you decide to install the app.
If you install the app on your regular phone, you should wrap that phone in tinfoil. Best to buy a burner phone (but not a 5G burner) toss into the Niagara after crossing.
Just what I need...another thing that creeps me out

ArriveCan isn't just a phone app, it's also available as a web site:
www.canada.ca
Use it or don't use it, it's up to you. The purpose is to expedite your crossing by asking all of the COVID screening questions up front before you arrive at the border. They don't expect everyone to use it, otherwise there wouldn't be a process in place for people who don't - which is to pull over to the inspection area and wait in line with everyone else who didn't use it, then answer all the same questions that were on the app or web site in the first place.
For me, I'm happy to answer up front so I can get waved through.

Use Advance Declaration to save time at the border - Canada.ca
Travellers arriving in Canada at certain airports can save time at the border by submitting their customs and immigration declaration in advance using this app.

Seems pretty straight forward to me but I guess I’m just a member of the flock
