Canadian 'snowbirds' who spend their winters in the U.S. will be allowed to stay an extra two months under a new bill introduced in the American House of Representatives.

The bill specifically targets Canadians 55 and over who own or rent a property in the U.S., and would allow them to spend more time in America than Canada, if they so wish.

Currently, 'snowbirds' – as they are known – have to count their days carefully to ensure they abide by rules which allow them to spend 180 days a year south of the U.S.-Canadian border.

But under the Promoting Tourism to Enhance Our Economy Act, this would be extended to 240 days for over 55s.
