ArriveCAN Help Needed!

[Gramma of Boys]

I am totally confused on ArriveCAN.  We are cruising out of Whittier with a stop in Victoria.  We will be entering Canada before that though, on an excursion out of Skagway.  When I first start entering info into ArriveCAN, do I use the land entry or marine entry?

You might get help here but you should post this on the Canadian board under the ArriveCAN threads. They are very knowledgeable and  helpful there.

Based on my Alaska cruise last month, you will need to show a marine entry in Victoria to get the code needed to board your ship in Whittier. Then once aboard, you will do a request for a land crossing at Fraser BC from Skagway within 3 days of your arrival in Skagway. That said, they only asked to see the QR code at boarding, not in Fraser or Victoria. Save screenshots of both QR codes, just in case.

THANK YOU!!!

The border in Frasier has agreed not to require updated ArriveCANs of visitors. So you won't need to update. Although apparently some (many?) cruise ships are having passengers update their forms. As noted on another thread - it is a very quick thing to do and probably takes less time to complete it than to argue with the ship personnel.
