‘It will be a deterrent’: Canadian snowbirds face new registration, fingerprint requirements going to the U.S.

About one million Canadian “snowbirds,” who contribute billions to the U.S. tourism industry each year, will soon be required to register and be fingerprinted before heading south, thanks to an executive order from President Donald Trump aimed at curbing illegal immigration.

While most travellers are automatically registered with an electronic I-94 admission record upon entering the U.S., Trump’s “Protecting the American People Against Invasion” order now mandates that all visitors staying 30 days or longer must register with the U.S. government and obtain an admission record, if an I-94 wasn’t automatically issued.
