Fewer snowbirds are expected to visit the United States this winter, according to an industry survey, while those who do can expect increased scrutiny at the border as the Trump administration tightens immigration rules.
Snowbird Advisor surveyed 4,000 Canadian snowbirds about their travel plans this year, finding that 70 per cent plan to visit the United States, down from 82 per cent last year.
Those results come as Canadian snowbirds face new registration requirements if they intend to stay in the U.S. for longer than a month, according to Ksenia Tchern McCallum, an immigration attorney licensed in both Canada and the U.S. who advises clients on both sides of the border.
