Ottawa says those who don’t to comply with the registration requirement could face fines and misdemeanour prosecution.

The government says visitors can consult the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website to check if they need to register and how to do so.

It says people can see if they have been automatically registered on entry to the U.S. by looking up their I-94 admission form on the U.S. Customs Border Protection website.
