U.S. bill provides snowbirds even more time in the sun
Canadian snowbirds may soon be able to spend as much as two months more nesting down south next year.
U.S. legislation now being debated in Congress would allow Canadians aged 55 and older to spend up to 240 days in the country without a visa, almost two months longer than the current 182-day annual limit.
The provision is not yet law, but it has the backing of New York Senator Charles Schumer, a legislator who has long been keen on finding ways to get more Canadians spending their dollars across the border.
