Canada issues warning for citizens with gender-neutral passports travelling to U.S.
Canada warns of increased visa reassessments and entry scrutiny for 2SLGBTQI+ travelers, highlighting concerns over 'X' gender marker passports amid U.S. policy changes, officials said.
- Canada updated its travel advisory on September 29, 2025, warning citizens about heightened U.S. entry scrutiny, especially for those with X gender markers.
- The advisory follows President Donald Trump's executive order limiting U.S. federal documents to male or female sex designations, restricting recognition of gender identity.
- Canadian passports offer an X gender identifier option, but holders may face difficulties due to evolving U.S. systems requiring sex-at-birth and stricter visa reassessments.
- An estimated 3,600 Canadians use the X marker, while U.S. authorities may review or revoke visas, with Jennifer Young stating the embassy cannot comment due to a government shutdown.
- The advisory implies that travelers, including U.S. permanent residents, should prepare for increased documentation checks, visa challenges, and possible status revocation under current U.S. policies.
