We have stated before Anasazi has about a 12% Canadian population, Now I have 4 good couples in my build 5, Nice friendly folks, and 1 BAD couple who rent to criminals, some of you how ever have the not so cream of the crop Canadian visitors in their building
What many have relayed is ...A Reminder to our visitors from North of the border
You are visitors to our country,city and community, therefore It is suggested to come enjoy yourselves here, But please do not to change our rules here to suit your vacation schedule.
This community is rapidly turning Anti Canadian at a fast rate.
The bottom line is even tho some of those here are great people you are still visitors to our country, the legal term is LEGAL ALIENS.....In the summer we are swamped with illegal aliens from South of the Border ..The winter swarmed with legal aliens from North of the Border
Maybe why our government has voted down allowing Canadian residents up to 240 days here as visitors rather than the standard now of 180
Questions ?? See article below
We need to start thinking ahead before we wind up with more Canadians and Snowbirds on our Board
The decisions of late show that we need people here to see what goes on day to day, Unfortunately we allowed the winter visitors to control our last election and you can all see by the result..We wound up with poor choices for full time resident board members..These elected were put in too place to kiss winter visitors asses and provide them with fall activities...That's the whole worry of this new board.

Canadians can get 180 day tourist cards for visiting Mexico, while Canadian visitors to the U.S. don’t need a visa if their stay is less than 180 days. However, if you spend too much time in the U.S., you may have to file a U.S. tax return. The key is to understand if you qualify as a U.S. resident under the "substantial presence" test. If you meet the test but your primary residential ties are with Canada you can avoid paying U.S. tax by filing a special form with the IRS. It’s also important to know what will happen if you overstay your welcome in another country—the penalties can range from fines to being banned from re-entry
What happened to the proposal to extend the limit for some Canadians to 240 days?
At least twice in recent years, legislation has been introduced in the U.S. Congress, but not passed, to extend the length-of-stay limit to 240 days for Canadian citizens over 50 years old and their spouses.
However, that proposal is now caught up in the debate over U.S. immigration laws. Now that the White House is bypassing Congress on the issue, and using executive orders, Canadian snowbirds shouldn't hold their breath.
