Immigration Lawyers: Brett Bruin and American Residents

immigration lawyers: The number of people receiving Canadian work permits in the first eight months of the year soared 54 per cent over the same period in 2015, according to The Waterloo Record. Both the government and immigration lawyers say there have not been any policies to account for the increase. Data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada shows a significant spike in the number of work permits being granted to American residents. Elsewhere, job seeking company Monster Worldwide released figures showing the number of American site users searching for jobs based in Canada has surged 58 per cent so far in 2016. Brett Bruin, who once worked as the director of global engagement for U.S. President Barack Obama and now works as a consultant for businesses setting up outside the United States, said Canada is a particularly appealing destination for Americans whose political views skew to the left. Experts say they suspect the uptick in people both expressing interest and actually obtaining jobs in Canada is a direct result of the U.S. election and the hostile political climate that likely won't dissipate once the ballots are counted.
