Nathan Diller reports:
Canadians who stay in America for more than 30 days have to register with the U.S. government according to the guidance, which was modified on Friday. The rule also applies to other foreign nationals.
“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.
The rule will take effect on April 11.
The requirement stems from an executive order issued by President Donald Trump on his first day in office, directing the Department of Homeland Security to ensure non-citizens comply with portions of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The law requires “all aliens 14 years of age or older who were not registered and fingerprinted (if required) when applying for a U.S. visa and who remain in the United States for 30 days or longer” to do so, according to the USCIS website. Parents and legal guardians of children under 14 must make sure they are registered. [emphasis added]
