Possibly not, and the whole issue still needs to be finalized by cabinet, but the sources do indicate that sea ports are included in the planned changes. The changes, for arrivals at land, air and sea ports of entry, are planned for Sept. 30,

LOL, as I have gone in the opposite direction. After many, many years of lugging SLR and later DSLR cameras and lenses around, I recently decided that the iPhone 14 Pro Max would become my "go to" camera when travelling in the future.

Holland America insists that passengers on cruises departing and not returning to Canada must nevertheless make an ArriveCAN submission. This is contrary to GOC policy that states the following: Additionally, HAL is requiring passengers to falsify their submission by indicating a fictitious port of arrival in Canada, as the app cannot be completed without a port of arrival being entered. In an attempt to clarify this issue, I called the ArriveCAN information number and, following a long wait, finally spoke to a representative who clearly knew far less about ArriveCAN than I did. It turned out that she is a member of a general GOC call centre staff and not a CBSA employee. She suggested that I call CBSA directly and provided me with a phone number. After another protracted wait, I spoke to an employee/officer of CBSA who readily confirmed that for cruises leaving and not returning to Canada there was no need to complete ArriveCAN. When I asked about HAL's insistence that passengers make a submission, her reply was "We don't care." She stated that the cruise line can do what it wants, and reiterated that CBSA doesn't care. Passengers should just do whatever HAL wants. When I asked why CBSA doesn't care, especially as HAL is getting passengers to falsify submissions with fictitious arrival information, she said it wasn't falsified and hung up on me. I never had the chance to ask about the potential impact on CBSA resources of thousands upon thousands of unnecessary submissions. Given the CBSA representative's assertion that HAL can do what it wants and demand ArriveCAN submissions, even if not required by the GOC, from this point forward my advice to anyone on CC will be to do as HAL requests. I don't agree with CBSA's approach, but it's their policy and they can decide how to implement it. ArriveCAAN comes under fire daily for a host of other reasons, and this issue is rather minor in the greater skeme of things.
