Canadians planning to travel to the U.S. for more than 30 days will no longer have to be fingerprinted, after a change to an upcoming policy.

On Feb. 25, a new policy was announced that would make it mandatory for all foreign nationals, including Canadians, to register in order to be in the U.S. for longer term stays. The Alien Registration Requirement, as it is called, at first stated that all foreign nationals would also have to be fingerprinted when it was posted online by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
