I feel kinda dumb, but if it isn't that's definately news to me. I may have misread it at some point then, but I do know the max limit of stay in the US for a Canadian Citizen is 6 months, and I thought that long of a stay was only permissible on the VWP. After that you have to pay taxes and some other junk that I never really read through.

Here, this might help understand a bit about it: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...5136&st=15#

I only offer advice - not even legal. Just the plain and simple kind.

VWP stay is 90 days.

You're right, Canada isn't a part of the VWP, it has something to do with bordering countries. However Canadians may stay in the US for 6 months as opposed to the 3 on the VWP.

It took me a ridiculous amount of time to find that last part out for sure. You would think they would make it easier.

Canada is better than the VWP... with the VWP you only get 3 months, Canadians get 6! I think what the earlier commenter meant was just don't overstay your 6 months since overstays cause trouble. ;)
