All I know is that you can stay in Canada for six months without a visa as an American citizen. If you want to get a visa then do so because it is very much more handy.

According to Immigration Canada:

If you plan to visit Canada, you must:

have a valid travel document, such as a passport
be in good health
convince an immigration officer that you have ties, such as a job, home and family, that will take you back to your country of origin
convince an immigration officer that you will leave Canada at the end of your visit and
have enough money for your stay. The amount of money you will need can vary with the circumstances of the visit, how long you will stay and whether you will stay in a hotel or with friends or relatives. For more information, ask the Canadian visa office in your country or region.
You may also need:

a Temporary Resident Visa, depending on your citizenship
a medical examination and
a letter of invitation from someone who lives in Canada.
Inadmissibility
Some people are inadmissibleâ€”they are not allowed to come to Canada. Several things can make you inadmissible, including involvement in criminal activity, in human rights violations or in organized crime. You can also be inadmissible for security, health or financial reasons.

Criminal inadmissibility
If you have committed or been convicted of a criminal offence, you may not be allowed to enter Canada.

Criminal offences include both minor and serious offences, such as theft, assault, manslaughter, dangerous driving and driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. For a complete list of criminal offences in Canada, consult the Canadian Criminal Code.

If you were convicted of a crime when you were under the age of 18, you can probably still enter Canada.

Citizens from the US do not require a visa in order to enter Canada as a visitor.

Furthermore, you can stay up to 6 months as a visitor provided you don't work or go to school.

After you arrive in Canada, you may want to change the conditions of your visit. This is possible in special cases.

Most visitors are allowed to stay in Canada for no more than six months but, in some cases, visitors can stay longer. The date that you must leave Canada will be stamped in your passport. If you have a study permit or a work permit, the same expiry date will also be stamped in it.

If you decide you want to stay longer, you can apply for an extension. You must send your application to extend your stay at least 30 days before your Temporary Resident Visa expires. If you stay longer than you are allowed by your visa, you will lose your temporary resident status and you could be asked to leave Canada.

You must apply to extend your stay if you want to:

visit, study or work in Canada longer
change the type of your permit (for example, from studying to working in Canada) or
change the conditions of your stay (for example, if you are studying or working in Canada, and you want to change schools or jobs).

Good Luck and Welcome to Canada!

hello,
Citizens of United States do not need a visa to Canada for a stay up to 90 days.
you can then come back to the USA and then re-enter Canada for another 90 days.

brainless storm

you can stay for 3 months, no there are no limitations after the visit.

You don't need a visa. Just come to the border, we will be happy to accommodate you. Stay as long as you like.

I AM CANADIAN.

You definitely don't need a visa, i think there should be no problem with you coming in. I go b/w Canada and the US all the time with only a Canadian citizenship so NO VISA. if your in doubt call the embassy

I do not believe there is a visa between the USA and Canada. There is no time limit for the visit but you cannot work there unless you get a work permit. So, as long as you have a valid passport and are not illegally working, you will be fine.
