A major travel update from Canada is making waves after President Donald Trump introduced a powerful new border security policy aimed at protecting American citizens.
Starting April 11, Canadian travelers staying in the United States longer than 30 days must officially register with U.S. authorities. Failure to comply could lead to penalties, fines, or even misdemeanor charges, according to Canada’s newly updated advisory.
The move is part of President Trump’s bold executive order, “Protecting the American People Against Invasion,” which seeks to crack down on overstays and reinforce strong national borders—a top priority for the Trump administration and millions of patriotic Americans.
Trump Travel Policy Targets Long-Term Visitors
This policy, though previously unenforced, is now being rolled out across all border points. According to the Vancouver Sun, any foreign national—including Canadians—who plans to remain in the U.S. beyond 30 days must register their stay with immigration officials.
This marks a significant shift from past administrations and highlights President Trump’s continued America First agenda, which remains highly popular among voters concerned with law and order, immigration, and national sovereignty.
Passport and Visa Crackdowns Spark Reaction Abroad
The Canadian government isn’t the only one taking notice. Reports from Newsweek and Axios reveal that foreign travelers—especially those with non-traditional gender documentation—are encountering increased scrutiny at U.S. borders.
An executive order from President Trump requires that passports reflect the sex assigned at birth, triggering warnings from liberal European countries like Germany and Finland. These nations have advised transgender and nonbinary citizens to exercise caution when visiting the U.S.
But many Americans see this as a return to biological reality and common-sense policies that align with traditional values.
Canada-U.S. Trade Dispute Adds to Travel Tensions
This new travel requirement comes amid growing trade tensions between Canada and the United States. President Trump has made headlines for suggesting that Canada might be better off as America’s 51st state, a remark that caused a stir north of the border.
In response, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently urged Canadians to avoid U.S. vacations and support domestic tourism instead.
“Stay local. Spend your money in Canada,” Trudeau said, according to The New York Times.
Travel to the U.S. From Canada Drops Sharply
The numbers show a clear trend. Statistics Canada reports that cross-border car travel fell by 23% in February. Meanwhile, Canadian air travel to the U.S. dropped by 13.1% compared to the same month last year.
Harold White, 72, a retired Canadian from Quebec, told reporters he’s had enough.
“I’ve visited Maine every summer for 15 years,” White said. “But this time, with all the new rules and rhetoric, I’ll be staying put. Trump’s not kidding around—and honestly, I respect that.”
Putting America First: A Policy That Works
While critics abroad may grumble, many Americans believe it’s about time someone put citizens ahead of foreign tourists. President Trump’s renewed focus on immigration enforcement and border protection has been met with strong approval from voters who value security, sovereignty, and American jobs.
As travel rules evolve, Canadians and others must now decide: Are they ready to respect U.S. law—or will they stay home?
