While Republican candidate Donald Trump's chances of winning the U.S. presidential election are growing, Americans who have looked up Canadian immigration on the Internet have also surged.
Citing Google data, the U.S. political media The Hill reported on the 6th local time that online searches for "Canadian migration" and "Canadian immigration" jumped more than 5,000% on the day of the election.In addition to
Canada, there were also many cases of searching for migration to Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
Search volumes began to rise by the end of voting in contested states such as Georgia and North Carolina, culminating in the morning of the 6th when eastern U.S. residents woke up to hear election news.
In addition, searches for "Canadian immigration" were high in Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado, and New Mexico.
The Hill said this is not the first time Americans who are desperate about the presidential election have considered leaving the country, and that the Canadian immigration website was paralyzed by a flood of visitors in 2016, when former President Trump was elected for the first time.
