Election Day: Canada and Immigration

election day: Famously, on election day, the Canadian immigration website crashed because of the number of Americans reportedly considering a move to their northern neighbour as Donald Trump won the presidency, according to Hamilton Spectator. Year after year, polls show that Canadians are, by far, more open and more optimistic about immigration than the citizens in any other Western country. A recent cover of the Economist put a maple leaf crown on the Statue of Liberty and proclaimed Canada an example to the world. But such optimism is perhaps easier to achieve in Canada than in other nations For historical and geopolitical reasons, Canada does not have to cope with the same immigration challenges as the United States and Europe. It accepts far more immigrants legally than most Western nations, but under a policy designed primarily to dovetail with the economic interests of the nation. To start, Canada has pursued a much more selective immigration policy than the United States or any western European country. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
