Canada’s immigration department has “experienced an increase in web traffic originating from the United States, compared to typical volume on a Wednesday,” spokesperson Julie Lafortune told POLITICO.
And while Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada said it doesn’t systematically track direct inquiries to its office, Lafortune added: “Anecdotally, we can confirm we’ve seen a spike in questions from U.S. citizens reaching out today.”
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada offers foreign nationals an online road map on how they might legally reside in Canada.
For example, a skilled American worker willing to live in one of the Canadian Atlantic provinces — New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador — could expect an eight-month processing period and fees starting at $1,525 Canadian.
“Anyone can apply for temporary or permanent status in Canada, provided they meet the qualifications,” Lafortune said. “There are a number of avenues that applicants can consider in order to remain in Canada on a temporary or permanent basis.
