I think Canada accepts positive covid tests as proof of prior infection, and many people already have those tests done and just sitting in their email.

  Not true to my knowledge. Sorry. - A Canadian.

  I mean, that's fine, but it's not what the parent was asking for. It seemed that they were implying we needed to catch every pre-infection, and the lack of development of highly sensitive tests for pre-infection was evidence of some negligence. I was arguing against developing "T-cell tests" for prior COVID infection. My comment was not intended to be an argument against any testing for pre-infection; I think the rationale for that is pretty solid, but I think that the regulatory establishment needs to be prepared to inform people that they might not be able to prove their previous infection and in that case they should get vaccinated.

  Canada doesn't have a national health care system, this is managed by each provinces. Quebec is the only province that will let you get only 1 dose of the vaccine, instead of 2, if you were previously infected. With that 1 dose, that's enough to have access to the vaccine passport. But there are absolutely no places in Canada that accepts prior infection as being fully vaccinated.
