Canada Issues Travel Alert: ‘X’ Passport Holders May Face U.S. Entry Denials Amid CBP Screening

Canada warns travelers with an “X” gender marker that some countries — including the U.S. — may deny entry or require a male/female designation. The alert lands as the administration seeks to enforce a two‑sex rule for federal documents, with a district court injunction in place and a Supreme Court stay request pending. CBP and State did not provide comment before publication amid a U.S. government shutdown. The move adds to cross‑border tensions and could deter travel at U.S.–Canada ports of entry.
