That order, currently tied up in litigation after a federal judge temporarily paused it in June, has prompted concerns over gender identity recognition at U.S. borders.

Ottawa’s advisory notes that Canadian citizens can still visit the U.S. for up to six months without a visa. But travelers requiring visas may see them reassessed or canceled, especially in cases involving past criminal records or violations of admission terms.
