S 387 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Canadian Snowbirds Act of 2023

This bill creates a new visitor category for Canadian citizens aged 50 or older who maintain a primary residence in Canada. It allows them to enter the U.S. for up to 240 days per year (within a 365-day period) if they own or rent property in the U.S., meet immigration requirements, and agree not to work for U.S. employers or access certain public benefits. The bill also clarifies that these visitors remain classified as nonresident aliens for U.S. tax purposes. It directly affects Canadian retirees seeking extended stays in the U.S. without changing their primary residence or employment status in Canada.
