Bill > HR3070

This bill, known as the Canadian Snowbird Act, aims to create a new visa category for Canadian retirees who wish to spend extended periods in the United States. Specifically, the bill would allow Canadian citizens aged 50 and older to stay in the U.S. for up to 240 days per 365-day period as visitors, with certain conditions. These conditions include maintaining a residence in Canada, owning or renting a residence in the U.S., not seeking employment in the U.S. (except for continuing work with a Canadian employer), and not applying for certain public assistance benefits. The bill also allows the spouse of a qualifying Canadian retiree to be admitted under the same terms. Additionally, the bill modifies tax regulations to clarify the nonresident alien tax status of these Canadian visitors, ensuring that maintaining a U.S. residence does not count against their intent to remain a Canadian resident. The bill is designed to provide more flexibility for Canadian retirees who want to spend extended periods in the United States, often referred to as "snowbirds" due to their tendency to escape cold Canadian winters by temporarily residing in warmer U.S. locations.
