Canadians face new registration rules for U.S. winter stays

thestar.com

New U.S. rules will require Canadian snowbirds staying longer than 30 days to register with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and potentially be fingerprinted. This change follows an executive order aimed at tightening immigration controls. The new registration requirement takes effect on April 11. Canadians who do not register may face fines or jail time. However, those entering the U.S. for less than 30 days or through certain programs are exempt from these rules. Confusion remains about the specifics of the registration process. Many Canadians are reconsidering their travel plans due to uncertainty surrounding the new regulations.
