‘Moving to Canada’ Trends Big as Trump Victory Becomes Real

Daniel Kim Views  

Yonhap News

On the day of the 47th U.S. presidential election, as Donald Trump’s chances of victory increased, online searches for immigration to Canada surged dramatically.

The Hill reported on Wednesday that Google data showed an almost 5,000% increase in online searches for terms like “moving to Canada” and “Canadian immigration.”

The search volume began to rise around the time polls closed in battleground states like Georgia and North Carolina, reaching its peak on Wednesday morning as East Coast residents woke up to election news.

Other popular immigration options for Americans included Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

The states with the highest search volumes related to immigration included Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado, and New Mexico.

This trend was rampant in northern U.S. states, showing strong support for Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris, especially in contested areas.

The analysis suggested that disappointed Democratic supporters, who generally hold unfavorable views of Trump, may have searched for options to relocate abroad following Harris’s defeat.

In fact, after Trump’s victory in the 2016 presidential election, Canadian immigration websites reportedly crashed due to a surge in traffic. This trend reflects the intense election-related anxiety among Americans and highlights the deep political divisions within the country.

The Hill noted that immigrating to Canada is complicated, often involving giving up certain American benefits. They suggested that seeking help from a mental health professional could be the most straightforward and affordable approach to coping with election-related stress.
