The Canadian government has issued updated travel advice for Canadian citizens planning to visit the United States. This comes in the wake of new rules from the United States that require foreigners staying in the United States for more than 30 days to register.

The US legal website Nolo has updated its website to provide information on what rights Canadians have at the US border and what to expect when entering the United States. Foreign nationals seeking to come to the United States temporarily or permanently have few rights during the application and screening process. You do not have the right to have a lawyer during the first or second inspection. Your bags and electronic devices can be searched without your permission. CBP officers can also ask you any questions you want, Nolo says. Travelers have the right to remain silent and refuse to be searched. However, if you do not answer or refuse to be searched, you may be denied entry. The article also states that there is also the right to withdraw from the border on one's own.
