From a 30-day registration requirement to expanded biometric screening at airports, the landscape has shifted and the consequences of getting it wrong range from border delays to denied entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide breaks down every key change, who it affects, and what your team should do before the next trip south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Short Version: What Has Actually Changed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada updated its official US travel advisory in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsnews.com\/local-news\/canada-united-states-travel-advisory-updated-march-2025-10420030\">March 2025<\/a> and again in December 2025, adding new guidance on US registration requirements, biometric screening, device searches at the border, and personal safety. The official risk level for the United States remains &#8220;Take normal security precautions&#8221; the lowest possible classification but the detail underneath that headline has grown significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For corporate travel managers, the practical changes fall into four categories: the 30-day registration rule, expanded biometrics at entry, device search authority, and documentation requirements. Each one is covered below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 30-Day Registration Rule: Who It Affects and What to Do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the single most significant change for Canadian business travellers and snowbirds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since April 11, 2025, any Canadian visitor staying in the United States for more than 30 consecutive days is required to register electronically with the US Department of Homeland Security. This formalises an existing law that was rarely enforced for Canadians it is now actively applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who needs to register:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Canadian citizens entering the US without a visa who plan to stay more than 30 days<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employees working remotely from a US location for extended periods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Canadians maintaining US vacation properties who stay for a month or longer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Who does NOT need to register:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Travellers staying fewer than 30 consecutive days (most short-trip business travellers fall here)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Canadians holding a US work visa such as a TN, L-1, or B-1\/B-2 with an I-94 \u2014 these visas already track your stay electronically<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>How to register if required:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create a US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) online account at uscis.gov<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit Form G-325R (&#8220;Record of Arrival and Residence&#8221;) electronically before your 30-day period expires<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Note: this form cannot be mailed or submitted in person \u2014 it must be filed online<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Canadians are exempt from the biometric fingerprinting component of this process<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The penalty for failing to comply is serious. Canada&#8217;s travel advisory states clearly that &#8220;failure to comply with the registration requirement could result in penalties, fines, and misdemeanour prosecution.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corporate travel tip: Most business trips to the US are well under 30 days, so the majority of your team will not need to register. However, any employee on an extended assignment, attending a multi-week training programme, or combining a long conference stay with leisure time should check their dates carefully. Track days in the US using a calendar or travel management tool, and keep proof of departure \u2014 flight records, receipts, toll records \u2014 for future border crossings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expanded Biometric Screening: What to Expect at the Border<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A US Department of Homeland Security rule that took effect on December 26, 2025, expands the federal government&#8217;s authority to collect facial biometrics \u2014 photographs \u2014 from all non-US citizens at entry and exit points. This applies at airports, land crossings, and seaports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most Canadian business travellers, this means a facial recognition camera scan has been added to or expanded within the existing entry process. It is not optional. If a traveller refuses, they may face delays or, for non-citizens, a possible denial of entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There have also been reports of US border agents requesting DNA from some international travellers under separate expanded screening authority. This is not a routine requirement for Canadians but has occurred in specific cases. Canada&#8217;s advisory now flags this as a possibility travellers should be aware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What this means practically: Allow extra time at the border. Facial biometric scanning adds steps to the process, particularly at busy land crossings and international air terminals. NEXUS cardholders continue to benefit from expedited processing, and for frequent Canada\u2013US business travellers, an active NEXUS card remains one of the most effective ways to reduce border delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Device Searches: What US Border Agents Can Access<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the most important and least understood aspects of the updated advisory for corporate travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>US Customs and Border Protection officers do not require a warrant to search your electronic devices at the border. This applies to phones, laptops, and tablets. The search authority exists regardless of your citizenship or the reason for your trip, and misrepresenting any information during a search can result in serious consequences including detention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada&#8217;s travel advisory now specifically recommends that travellers put devices in airplane mode before reaching the inspection counter, which reduces \u2014 but does not eliminate \u2014 the risk of remote data being accessed during inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For corporate travel managers, this has real implications for data security. Employees travelling with client data, proprietary business information, or sensitive company communications should work with your IT and legal teams before travelling to establish clear protocols. Many companies with frequent Canada\u2013US travel are adopting a practice of providing employees with travel-specific devices that hold only the data needed for that trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Practical steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Brief travelling employees on their rights and obligations at the border<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider a clean-device policy for US-bound travel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep itinerary documents, hotel bookings, and meeting details easily accessible \u2014 having a clear, documented trip purpose reduces the likelihood of extended questioning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remain calm and factual at the inspection counter; attempting to conceal information or becoming confrontational escalates the situation significantly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Documentation: What to Carry and How to Prepare<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada&#8217;s advisory reinforces that proper documentation is essential for every US border crossing, and that CBP officers have broad authority at ports of entry to question travellers about the purpose and length of their visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valid travel documents required:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Canadian passport (most reliable option for all entry points)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NEXUS card (valid at land, air, and sea crossings)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhanced driver&#8217;s licence (valid at land and sea crossings only, not air)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For business travellers specifically, CBP officers are increasingly asking for clear evidence of the trip&#8217;s purpose. This is not new, but enforcement has become more consistent and visible. Employees should travel with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A letter from their employer on company letterhead confirming the purpose of the trip, the company they are visiting, and the expected duration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proof of accommodation (hotel confirmation, corporate housing booking)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Return travel confirmation (flight booking, vehicle itinerary)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Evidence of ties to Canada \u2014 employment letter, lease or mortgage document, or utility bill \u2014 to demonstrate that the traveller intends to return<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For employees on TN or L-1 work visas, ensure your visa documentation is current and accessible. Some land border ports handling TN and L-1 processing require appointments or advance notice \u2014 confirm procedures before travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One important clarification from Canada&#8217;s advisory: Canadian citizens, including dual citizens travelling on a Canadian passport, are not affected by the US proclamation restricting entry for nationals of certain countries that took effect January 1, 2026. Canadian passport holders retain full entry rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The I-94: Don&#8217;t Overlook It<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An often-missed detail that has become more relevant given tighter enforcement: Canadian travellers who enter the US by land or sea and require an I-94 arrival\/departure record must pay a $30 fee. Those entering by air have the fee included in their airline ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For travellers who enter frequently by land \u2014 common for Canadian employees with offices or clients in border cities \u2014 the I-94 record is the document that confirms how long you are authorised to stay. Check your I-94 record after every crossing at i94.cbp.dhs.gov, because discrepancies between the expected and recorded entry or exit can cause significant problems at future border crossings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Context: Why These Changes Are Happening Now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The updated rules and enforcement posture are directly connected to the Trump administration&#8217;s broader immigration tightening and the trade tensions between Canada and the United States in 2025 and 2026. The 30-day registration requirement formalises an existing law that was historically unenforced for Canadians. The biometric expansion is part of a wider US government push toward digital border management. The increased scrutiny at crossing points follows several high-profile incidents involving Canadian nationals being detained at the US border, including a Vancouver woman detained for more than a week in early 2025 after having a work visa application denied at a Mexican border crossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada&#8217;s government has been careful not to raise the official travel risk level for the US, it remains at &#8220;Take normal security precautions&#8221; but the volume and specificity of the advisory updates signal that Global Affairs Canada is taking the changed environment seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Corporate Travel Managers Should Do Right Now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Review your current US-bound travel programme against these five actions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Audit trip durations. Identify any employees who regularly spend 30 or more consecutive days in the US. Those without a work visa need to understand the G-325R registration process before their next trip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Update your pre-trip checklist. Add documentation requirements \u2014 employer letter, accommodation proof, return travel confirmation \u2014 as standard items for every US business trip, not just extended ones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brief employees on device search protocols. Work with IT and legal to establish a clear policy on what devices and data travel to the US, and what employees should do if a device is requested for inspection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check NEXUS card validity. For frequent cross-border travellers, NEXUS remains the single most effective tool for reducing border friction. Ensure cards are current and renewals are in process well in advance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Register with the Canadian government&#8217;s travel registry. Global Affairs Canada&#8217;s free online travel registration service allows the government to contact Canadians in an emergency and send advisory updates. It takes minutes and is strongly recommended for any employee travelling to the US on business.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada has not issued a &#8220;do not travel&#8221; warning for the United States, and for most short-trip business travellers, the practical experience of crossing the border will be familiar \u2014 passport check, a few questions, and you&#8217;re through. But the rules have changed in ways that matter, particularly for employees on extended assignments, those carrying sensitive company data, and anyone whose documentation is less than airtight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing a corporate travel manager can do right now is get ahead of it. Informed employees travel with less friction, and a clear pre-trip protocol protects both your team and your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clooper helps growing businesses manage corporate travel across flights, accommodation, and ground transport with the visibility and control travel managers need.
