Ok so here's the thing. If i'm posting in the wrong forum please don't yell at me, if I've come here for answers that means I don't know what i'm doing and all the government websites have confused me terribly. :confused:

I've seen this "Visa waiver" thing all over but there really isn't much information about Canadians crossing the border for visiting or vacation. (Yes I know Canada isn't on the waiver)

All i need to know is the details. I've heard the time period is six months. But then what? Deportation? How will they find me? Do i have to give them information on how long i'm staying and where when i'm at the border so they can find me? I've read that i'd be taxed, or somehow become a citizen after the six month period. And if i do have to go back after the six months, how long do i have to wait to go back?

This is all very confusing and i'd apreciate the help. Thanks a lot. :)

The Canadian visa exemption is seperate from the Visa Waiver Program and is not referred to as such, which may be why you are having problems finding out more.

You provide information at the border, and if they believe you they will let you in for up to six months. You will not receive an I-94 and therefore the odds of detection on an overstay are low, but why would you want to?

If it were that easy I would have a US passport by now. :)
