Canadians who visit US for more than 30 days will be fingerprinted
Briefly

Effective April 11, Canadians planning to visit the US for more than 30 days will be required to register with authorities and have their fingerprints taken. This ensures enforcement of a law mandating registration for foreign nationals aged 14 and older. The measure reflects the Trump administration's ongoing efforts to tighten migration controls and worsens the historically close ties between the US and Canada, amid tariff disputes and Trump's controversial comments about Canada becoming a US state.
Canadians who visit the US for over 30 days must register with authorities and submit fingerprints starting April 11, tightening migration rules amid rising tensions.
This regulation will enforce a previously inconsistent law on Canadian nationals 14 and older, with potential penalties for those who fail to comply.

With the new tariffs on aluminum and steel, this regulation could affect nearly 900,000 Canadians, particularly those known as 'snowbirds'.
