Time Out From Us
Have a quick question, if inthe Us and you come back to Canada, how llong do you have to stay in Canada to count as time out. I have heard 30 days, but would like to make sure on that.

Trap... your 8:10 response is correct. You must spend 30 days outside the US or the time at Christmas (2 weeks) would be considered part of your whole trip and counted as if you were in the US for those 2 weeks. This has most recently been documented in the CSA travel information guide fourth edition page 20. In previous editions they also showed a letter from the US border service which layed this out. The CSA Guide is not a definitive legal guide but the letter in previous editions was. This is a US requirement and Canada does not view your time away from your home province the same way. You can come home for 2 weeks and go back to the US but you should count the 2 weeks as time in the USA and part of your 6 months beit 181, 182 or 183 days.
Thanks netjam that was what I was trying to make sure off.
