Your itinerary is eligible for visa free transit in Shanghai in principle. To be certain, here is a couple of conditions that your itinerary has to fulfill:
- Your cruise is not allowed to have its last port of call, immediately before Shanghai, in mainland China port. In other words, your last port of call before Shanghai has to be in a country different than mainland China.
- Your flight from Shanghai to Montréal is not allowed to have any additional landing of any kind within mainland China and in the country where your cruise will have its last port of call, immediately before Shanghai. In other words, if your last port of call before Shanghai was in Japan, your flight is not allowed to have a landing in Japan.
If the above mentioned conditions are fulfilled, you are definitely eligible for 24 or 144 hour visa free transit in Shanghai area and you don't need any kind of visa. Whether you will be eligible for 24 or 144 hour visa free transit is in direct relation on the entire duration of your transit, from your scheduled arrival by cruise to Shanghai and your scheduled departure by plane from Shanghai. If the entire time is less than 24 hours, you will be eligible for 24 hour TWOV and if that time is longer than 24 hours for just a minute, you will enjoy 144 hour visa free transit. In reality, this is definitely the same in your case.
