The Canadian government has updated its travel advice for those traveling to the United States. The updated advice includes the requirement for Canadian citizens and foreign nationals traveling to the United States to register. The advice also states that American immigration officials may ask you to prove that you are a temporary visitor.
The federal government says that those who do not comply with the registration requirements will face fines and prosecution. The US previously required visitors to register if they are staying for more than 30 days. The government also warns that remaining in the United States beyond the authorized period of stay can lead to serious consequences, such as detention or deportation, as the US government strictly enforces immigration restrictions.
The government also says that visitors can check the US Citizenship and Immigration Services website to find out if they need to register and how to register.
