In a significant development, the U.S. government has announced a new registration requirement for Canadian visitors staying in the country for extended periods. Starting April 11, 2025, Canadians who remain in the U.S. for more than 30 days will be required to register with U.S. immigration authorities.
This new rule aims to enhance national security and improve the tracking of foreign nationals within the country. Canadians who fail to comply with the registration requirement may face penalties, including fines and potential deportation.

The U.S. government has emphasized that this new rule will not affect Canadians who enter the country for short-term visits, such as tourism or business trips, as long as their stay does not exceed 30 days.
This development is expected to impact thousands of Canadians who regularly visit the U.S. for extended periods. The U.S. government has advised Canadians to familiarize themselves with the new registration requirement to avoid any potential issues during their stay.
