Lazz Posted February 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I am a US citizens getting off a ship in Vancouver and heading to the Vancouver airport. It was suggested that I download a app to help get through Canadian Customs. I believe it is called Arrive Can? Thanks for your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d9704011 Posted February 17, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2023 No. Just go through Immigration and Customs without fhe app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted February 17, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 17, 2023 ArriveCan was tied to Covid emergency protocols and travel. I believe it is no longer even being used. Worry about Immigration, not Customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its use is optional. https://www.canada.ca/en/border-services-agency/services/arrivecan.html Use ArriveCAN to submit your customs declaration when you enter Canada Save time and make your customs and immigration declaration using Advance CBSA Declaration in ArriveCAN.

Rare martincath Posted February 19, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Optional at airports only for now - all the other arrival modes it can't be used at all, so for a cruiser disembarking in Vancouver I wouldn't bother wasting the space on your phone. It is however still of use for air arrivals, as it enables you to pre-declare your Customs statement - which does save a wee bit of time when flying in. There's a chance it might roll back out to land and sea arrivals in future of course, but unless we see new Covid restrictions again it'll definitely remain optional so you shouldn't need to download it OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
