Travel in and out of the USA ?

Post Sat May 01, 2010 7:50 am

My boyfriend is a Canadian citizen, I am a US citizen. We spend the winter in Arizona. If we take a cruise on a foreign cruiseline, to a foreign country, is that time deducted from his 6 months in the USA?

His departure from US restarts his 6-month clock, just as it would if he crossed the border to Mexico or canada.

There is no yearly six-month limit for visitors to US; each undocumented entry cannot be more than 6 months. The trouble is the more he stays out of Canada, the more likely the border will question whether he truly is a visitor to US or if he simply lives with you.

ok....so you are saying when he crosses the border into mexico, and he does occasionally as Yuma is 8 miles from MEXICO, the 6 month calendar restarts? There are 1000s of Canadians in southern AZ who go in and out of Mexico daily. I do not think this is common knowledge. Very good to know.. Thanks

agnelson,

I thought US does not allow Canadians to stay (live) in the US for more than 182 days in any calendar year. Am I mistaken on this point?

On a related note, since there is no passport check on exiting US or Canada (unlike most countries in Asia), how would immigration know how long a person stayed? If a person left US and entered Canada, would US get Canada entry information from Canada immigration and vice versa?
