Modiagliani, I was assuming Canadians fill out a Closer Connection Form 8840; that's what I was basing my comment on. (Sometimes border guards ask for a copy of this form.)

Form 8840 states:

General Instructions
Purpose of Form
Use Form 8840 to claim the closer
connection to a foreign country(ies)
exception to the substantial presence
test. The exception is described later
and in Regulations section
301.7701(b)-2.
Note:
You are not eligible for the closer
connection exception if any of the
following apply.
• You were present in the United States
183 days or more in calendar year 2015.
• You are a lawful permanent resident of
the United States (that is, you are a
green card holder)

[QUOTE=Sable99;1201626]Don't forget that I-75 northbound is still closed near the Tennessee/Kentucky border because of last month's rock fall. If I remember right, it's about a 40 mile detour but very slow. I heard that one lane would be opening near the end of the month. The southbound lanes are now open.[/QUOTE]
Excellent information, thanks Sable.
