Are you saying there is no agreement between the US and Canada allowing citizens to visit for 6 months?

Why should there be one? Countries often don't have formal agreements of this nature, it's often just a matter of law and policy (and perhaps informal agreements) that can change any time.

So it's because I quoted the word 'treaty' from the post I answered?
