Proposed U.S. legislation aims to extend Canadian snowbirds' visa-free stay
Saturday, May 10, 2025, 1:20 pm
Lawmakers in the U.S. House are considering a bill to allow Canadian snowbirds extended visa-free stays in the United States during winter months, easing cross‐border travel restrictions. The proposed measure could significantly benefit thousands of Canadians seeking longer seasonal visits.
New act would provide the longer timeframe for those aged 50 and over who both maintain a home in Canada and either own or lease a U.S. residence
Canadian snowbirds could stay longer in the United States without a visa if a bill recently proposed in the U.S. House of Representatives becomes law.
