Bill overview
This bill, the Canadian Snowbird Act, allows the Department of Homeland Security to admit qualifying Canadian citizens aged 50 or older as long-term visitors for pleasure. To be eligible, individuals must maintain a Canadian residence, own or rent a U.S. residence, not be inadmissible or deportable, and agree not to work in the U.S. (except for Canadian-based employers) or seek certain government benefits. Spouses of eligible individuals can also be admitted under similar terms, though without the requirement of owning or renting a U.S. residence. The maximum stay allowed is 240 days within a 365-day period.
