Canada updated its travel guidance to include a registration rule for visitors to the U.S.
Canadians who stay in America for more than 30 days have to register with the U.S. government according to the guidance, which was modified on Friday. The rule also applies to other foreign nationals.
\u201cFailure to comply with the registration requirement could result in penalties, fines, and misdemeanor prosecution,\u201d the web page reads<\/a>. The guidance points Canadians to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website<\/a> to find out whether or not they need to register.\u00a0
The rule will take effect<\/a> on April 11.
The requirement stems from an executive order issued by President Donald Trump on his first day in office, directing the Department of Homeland Security to ensure non-citizens comply with portions of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The law requires \u201call aliens 14 years of age or older who were not registered and fingerprinted (if required) when applying for a U.S. visa and who remain in the United States for 30 days or longer\u201d to do so, according to the USCIS website<\/a>. Parents and legal guardians of children under 14 must make sure they are registered.
Most Canadian travelers do not have to provide fingerprints, Canada\u2019s guidance said.\u00a0
The existing rule has not been applied consistently for Canadians coming to America, The Guardian reported<\/a>.
The updates come as tensions have risen<\/a> between the U.S. and Canada in the wake of Trump\u2019s on-and-off trade war with the country and his musing about making it the 51st state<\/a>. Countries, including the United Kingdom and Germany, have also issued warnings<\/a> for travel to the U.S. after several visitors were detained.
