Visa question

[Jayhawk123]

Hi,

 

Four of us will be cruising on the 7 day round trip from and back to Seattle. One of us is a US Citizen, one is a US resident (greencard holder - Kenyan citizen living in the USA) and two are non-US residents (Kenyan Citizens living in Kenya - they will have multiple entry USA visitor visa though)

 

My question is, will the other 3 people need Canadian visas?? If they were to travel to Canada, they would need visas, but wasn't sure about the cruise since we are leaving from the USA and arriving to the USA (Seattle).

 

Thanks for your help...can't find the answer anywhere!

For something as potentially important as this, I would not rely on a discussion board. You (or they) need to contact the Canadian authority for an answer. Good luck!

Officially, if citizens of Kenya are even in transit through Canada, they need a visa -

However, like U.S. cruise passengers who have a criminal record and are denied entry, they can simply stay on the ship.

But, I agree with Jim (who posted while I was typing) - you simply MUST verify
