Can i use a PCR test bought in the UK as my fit to fly test to be able to board the plane when returning from Canada, as tests are much more expensive than the UK ?

A PCR test has to be sent to a lab to be processed- the UK test providers will specify which lab you need to return them to ( which will be in the UK )
You can use a LFD bought in UK with a certified result- this is acceptable for entry to UK,
Check your airline doesn’t have any additional requirements.0 -
I thought it had to be a PCR test ? I'm not familier with "LFD bought in UK with a certified result", do you have a link please ?
