| Feb 2, 2019 at 19:57 | comment | added | DJClayworth | Yes the answer has been corrected since I wrote my comment. It originally said that being a Canadian resident exempted you from the limits on how long you could stay in the US on VWP. I don't disagree with it now. | |

| Feb 2, 2019 at 12:15 | comment | added | phoog | The text of the second page clarifies that by "resident" they mean "permanent resident," so that page really does not apply here. The text in the first link about onward travel does not agree with the regulations, which provide that the round trip ticket requirement is waived for those entering by land, and for those who reside in Canada a ticket to Canada satisfies the requirement, whereas for others it does not. | |

| Feb 2, 2019 at 6:25 | comment | added | lambshaanxy | @DJClayworth The title of the 2nd page is "Canadian- Citizens/Residents/**Landed Immigrants** entering the U.S.", and the first link under "Trips to Canada, Mexico, or nearby islands" explicitly notes that Canadian residents are exempt from the onward ticket rule. But I'll clarify. | |
| Feb 2, 2019 at 2:20 | comment | added | DJClayworth | I disagree that Canadian residence exempts you from VWP rules on length of stay. The only difference if makes is that returning to Canada does reset the VWP clock if you are resident there. Your link doesn't say anything different. Your quote is aboot Canadian Citizens. | |
