Fouremco Posted April 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Just a reminder that tomorrow, April 25th, a new version (v2.28) of the ArriveCAN app will be released. With the changes announced last Friday, you should ensure that you get this latest download. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByThePond Posted April 25, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Available for download now. There is a new question “Are you travelling on a cruise ship?” and a quarantine plan is no longer required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gubby Posted April 25, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Just downloaded newest version. It asks name of cruise ship and stateroom number. But quarantine plan is now gone. We got our second booster on Friday, and booked antigen test, so really feel that we are going to finally cruise again in a couple of weeks. Getting excited!!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALD18 Posted April 25, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Just did a trial run on new app and it is actually easier and faster to fill out. Easier and faster are good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son3cruisers Posted April 25, 2022 #5 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I was hoping to just do an update. But there is no update available this morning . I guess you all deleted your app and downloaded a new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netpj Posted April 25, 2022 #6 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Having the same problem. Did anyone receive an automatic update on an IPhone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netpj Posted April 25, 2022 #7 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Please ignore my previous post - app needed to updated manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALD18 Posted April 25, 2022 #8 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Just used update feature in Android Play Store. Was sitting there for download, did so, and installed automatically for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare broberts Posted April 25, 2022 #9 Share Posted April 25, 2022 On Android, I had to go to Manage apps in Play store, select the app then tap Update. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamatoJack Posted April 25, 2022 #10 Share Posted April 25, 2022 How do I know if I have the latest one? It's V2.28.7 but I don't think it did an update today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netpj Posted April 25, 2022 #11 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I think if you go to the App store on IPhone or Play Store on Android and find the installed app, it will tell you if there is an update available and also the version history that is installed, in other words it appears you need to do a manual update. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gubby Posted April 25, 2022 #12 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I went to play store and it said latest was 04/21. Tapped update and latest one downloaded. Knew it was different because there was a question about name of ship, which stateroom. And no question about quarantine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lderochi Posted April 25, 2022 #13 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I did a trial run as well, and eventually came to this screen, which confused me. It seems to say there int a testing requirement for fully vaccinated passengers. That’s . . . Not what the government has said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamatoJack Posted April 25, 2022 #14 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I think I have the latest version but it's dated April 21 so... who knows. That is when they added the cruise ship option. I think that's only for arrive by Marine port? so for the cruises coming to Canada. My version also removed the quarantine questions. Seems all rather easy now though. It also saved the passport information under "travelers" so I don't need to rescan those. We aren't travelling for a few more weeks but I didn't want to have to do all of this right before we go.

lderochi Posted April 25, 2022 #15 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Oops, never mind, I found the specific cruise ship information - you have to go through some links and it is *not* intuitive. It’s not ideal that Arrivecan takes you through a series of questions where you very clearly state that you are a cruise ship passenger, and you end up on a page that gives you the impression that testing is not necessary for fully vaccinated passengers - and you can complete the Arrivecan process and get your receipt without ever having to upload proof of a negative test. That is going to confuse a lot of people. But since the cruise lines themselves are requiring the test, maybe not. 🤷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first bullet says that fully-vaccinated and their accompanying children under 12 don't have to produce any test results. The second bullet says that "All other individuals", in other words those not vaccinated or accompanying children under 12, do need to provide test results. That's consistent with GOC regs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lderochi Posted April 25, 2022 #19 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I thought the GOC position was that all cruise passengers need pre embarkation testing, regardless of vaccination status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArriveCan is talking about returning to Canada. You still need to be tested to get on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the same thing to the bureaucratic.mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lderochi Posted April 25, 2022 #22 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Thank you for the clarification. It just seems odd to me that for a visitor arriving in Canada via a cruise ship, who has to use ArriveCan to embark, ArriveCan would not give that person a heads up that the GOC also requires a Covid test prior to embarkation.

Testing is helpful for ships as well as government to know who’s boarding or trying to board with the virus or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might as well of said, "After two years of COVID ..." Or "After booking a cabin ...". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
