Episode 67: U.S. Registration Requirements for Canadian Snowbirds?
Description
Are Canadian Snowbirds at risk of breaking U.S. law? With new enforcement of a decades-old rule, Canadians staying more than 30 days in the U.S. are now being told to “register”—but what does that really mean?
In this episode of the Snowbirds Expat Radio Podcast, Gerry Scott welcomes immigration lawyer Julia Herzog, of Herzog Legal, who breaks down the recent U.S. executive order and Canada’s updated travel advisory. They explore what this means for seasonal travelers, how to check your I-94 status, whether a Nexus card helps, and what to do if border agents ask to search your phone or laptop.
You’ll learn:
What the U.S. registration rule actually says—and why it’s being enforced now
How to verify your I-94 status online and what to do if you can’t find it
Whether you should apply for a Nexus card, fill out form G-325A, or request a passport stamp
What rights border officers have when it comes to your electronic devices
What this means for Canadians working remotely or running businesses from the U.S.
🎧 Whether you’re headed to Florida, Arizona, or Hawaii this winter—or you're a cross-border commuter—this is a must-listen episode packed with practical advice from one of Canada’s most trusted cross-border experts.
