This is from a Canadian perspective, but I don't think things are too different in other countries. In fact, Korea used to have a ten year duration but recently changed to five. Is this all part of America's anti-terrorism changes?

I believe 5Years is long duration where lot of things change for an Individual like the place of living as such ,so its better for the authority to keep a check and update thenselve in every five years but in My country we have a 10years duration.......

We can't have it both ways......
Either we're making sure we know who comes in and out of our country......or we care about spending a few bucks every few years.
