Starting April 11, 2025, Canadian travelers planning to stay in the U.S. for more than 30 days will be required to register with the U.S. government under new travel regulations. This updated rule, which also applies to other foreign nationals, is designed to enhance the tracking of extended stays and strengthen compliance enforcement.
Canadians are urged to visit the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website for full details on the registration process to avoid penalties. Failure to comply could result in severe consequences, including fines, penalties, and possible misdemeanor prosecution. This rule marks a significant shift in cross-border travel regulations and is particularly important for Canadians visiting the U.S. for business, tourism, or other extended stays.
