Canada updates travel advisories for U.S., China after recent tensions [Video]

Canadians are now facing updated travel advisories to the world’s two largest economies, after Ottawa warned travellers who stay in the United States for more than 30 days to make sure they register as required.

The advisory for the United States follows another update for travel to China, where Canadians with dual citizenship have been warned to use Canadian credentials when presenting to Chinese authorities.

“Canadians and other foreign nationals visiting the United States for periods longer than 30 days must be registered with the United States government,” the latest travel advisory to the United States said.

“Failure to comply with the registration requirement could result in penalties, fines and misdemeanor prosecution.”

The updated advisory said visitors can consult the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website to check if they need to register and how to do so.
