My alcohol offences were over 7 years ago, do I need to apply for a TRP or will they just let me in at the border. I have a cruise ship leaving Vancouver for Alaska in June of this year. I will leave airport for the cruise ship! thanks
Then you're fine since it's been more than 5 years.
Good thing too. Because if it had been less than five years, you'd be out of luck. Extremely unlikely you would have been granted a TRP just to go on vacation. TRPs are for critical / emergency situations (e.g. sick parent in Canada).
that's good news, the web site is very hard to comprehend. should I just take paperwork to Vacouver and hope they let me board the cruise ship? the cruise is expensive and want to be sure I will be allowed. thanks
