What Canadians need to know about the new 30-day US travel rule

Planning an extended stay in the United States? A new travel rule will apply.

The Government of Canada has issued an advisory regarding updated entry procedures for Canadian travellers. If you're planning to stay in the US for more than 30 days, you will now be required to register with US authorities.

While the details are still evolving, the goal of this new requirement is to help the US government monitor long-term visitors and collect accurate data. This applies to both business and leisure travel.

What does this mean for you?

  • If your trip to the US will exceed 30 days, check the Government of Canada’s travel advisory site regularly for the most current information.
  • If you’re booking for others, make sure all travellers are aware of the potential requirement and monitor updates closely.
  • If your travel plans change mid-trip, and your stay becomes longer than expected, you will also need to comply with this rule.
