NetworkGuy Posted July 27, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2022 We are booked on a cruise from NYC to Quebec City. There are a number of stops in the USA (Newport,, Boston, Bar Harbor) before entering Canada. Where do you go through Customs / Immigration? When you first board or last US port?

mets123 Posted July 27, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2022 In June we took the Oasis to Halifax and St John from Cape Library. There was nothing special that we had to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was nothing special that we had to do. You were cleared by Canadian immigration authorities at your first Canadian port despite your not doing anything. As is the case in many countries port authorities clear the passengers from the information on the passenger manifest without an in person meeting . If you had shipmates with a criminal record they were likely interviewed in their cabins by CBSA officers who then determined if they would be allowed to disembark or required to be confined to the ship while in Canada. Also I believe the OP is asking about a one way cruise that ends in Canada, which would typically require more clearance from Canadian authorities than a ship that was doing a closed loop back to the USA.

I believe thats correct-- too many people confuse the two that its just easier to say that you'll undergo formalities at the first port of entry. But a Customs declaration, if necessary, would be made upon final disembarkation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
