Canadians Visiting U.S. for More Than 30 Days Must Register
If you're planning to hit the road for an American rock climbing road trip this year, you better read the rules first
Canada has updated its travel guidance to include a registration rule for visitors to the U.S. If you’re planning on a climbing trip to the U.S. that will be more than 30 days, then be sure to register.
Canadians who stay in America for more than 30 days have to register with the U.S. government. The rule also applies to other foreign nationals. Most Canadian travellers do not have to provide fingerprints, Canada’s guidance said. More information on CBC here.
“Failure to comply with the registration requirement could result in penalties, fines, and misdemeanor prosecution,” the web page reads. The guidance points Canadians to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website to find out whether or not they need to register.
While some climbers are still planning on visiting the U.S. this year, the overall vibe, due to escalating tensions between Canada and the U.S., has been to just travel in Canada in 2025. Stay safe this year!
