Here was the thread about this subject. http://www.cruiselinefans.com/ask-cr...light=criminal (Going to Canada, had a misdemeanor conviction? READ This!!)
Uou might post on the thread and see if anyone can offer new information.
Someone on the thread did post this link==> Consulate General Seattle :: Visas and Immigration :: Persons who are inadmissible to Canada
It had information in it on how to apply Temporary Permit. Rgarding that, it states:
"**NOTE: In general, applications for Temporary Resident Permits, Approvals of Rehabilitation and Authorization to Return to Canada take into consideration the nature of the offenses committed by the applicant, the number of offenses on the applicant's record, the length of time since the last offense, reports from parole or probation officers, the purpose for which entry into Canada is sought, and the applicant's standing in the community."
Sounds like this is a way for them to listen to your story. If you have cruised anywhere before, I would give them that information too. If they know you are frequent travelers there to see their country and spend money in it, they should listen to you.
