US To Require Canadians To Register Stays Beyond 30 Days

Trump administration officials will implement a new rule requiring Canadians who stay in the United States longer than 30 days to register their information and submit fingerprints, according to a draft regulation set to take effect April 11.

The measure expands registration requirements for foreign nationals crossing the US-Canada land border for extended stays. Affected travelers must create accounts with US Citizenship and Immigration Services and schedule fingerprinting appointments for background checks.

Canadian snowbirds, or retirees who winter in warmer US states, face the choice to either register or risk penalties under the rule.

The regulation allows travelers to use I-94 travel documents, routinely issued to non-immigrant visitors arriving by air or sea, as alternatives to the new registration.

This change comes as Trump intensifies migration controls and escalates a trade dispute with Canada. The president recently threatened widespread tariffs and moved to double forthcoming steel and aluminum levies on Canada, America’s top source of aluminum imports.

The Department of Homeland Security announced plans last month to “fully enforce” the Immigration and Nationality Act. This law requires non-citizens over 14 to register and provide fingerprints within 30 days of entry, and mandates that registered non-citizens over 18 carry proof of registration at all times.

“The Trump administration will enforce all our immigration laws,” DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in February. “We must know who is in our country for the safety and security of our homeland and all Americans.”

The registration form requires extensive personal information, including phone numbers, birth dates, addresses, family details, criminal records, and immigration history.
