No you don't; since American citizens are eligible to stay for up to 180 days without a visa you may travel to Mexico for your exchange of 5 months if accepted by a Mexican authority. http://www.inm.gob.mx/EN/index.php?page/not_need_visa . Edit: based on additional details The same applies to Canadians; you should state a different citizenship from start if you ask travel questions in Y!A USA instead of Y!A Canada.
