Canada advises registration for U.S. stays over 30 days
The Canadian government has updated its travel advisory for Canadians traveling to the United States. The new advisory highlights a registration requirement for visitors planning to stay longer than 30 days. Under the updated rules, both Canadians and other foreign nationals must register if they are in the U.S. for extended periods. Failure to comply with this registration can lead to fines or legal issues. To help travelers, the Canadian government recommends checking the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website. This site provides information on the registration process and the requirements for visitors. Travelers can also verify their status by accessing their I-94 admission form on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website. This form shows if they have been automatically registered upon their arrival in the U.S. The advisory comes as some Canadians reconsider their travel plans due to recent tensions over tariffs and comments from former President Donald Trump about Canada potentially becoming the 51st state.
