Canadian Snowbird Act

This bill would allow the Department of Homeland Security to let certain Canadian citizens stay in the United States for longer visits as nonimmigrant visitors. To qualify, a Canadian must be at least 50 years old, keep their Canadian home, own or rent a place to stay in the U.S., not be banned from entering the country, and generally not work for U.S. employers or seek government benefits. These visitors could stay up to 240 days in any 365-day period, and their spouses could come too under the same rules except they don't need their own U.S. housing. People admitted under this program would be taxed as nonresident aliens.
