Canada’s immigration site crashes as Americans look up how to emigrate if Donald Trump wins
The website to tell people how to emigrate to Canada is crashing as Americans come to terms with a possible Donald Trump presidency.
Results are still coming in but Trump is currently the favourite to become the next U.S. President after a swathe of good results, including in the key swing states of Florida and North Carolina.
However, it appears that not everyone in America is happy with that possibility and are seemingly looking to see how they can up sticks and move across the border to Canada.

An apparent surge in traffic to the country’s ‘Citizenship and Immigration Canada’ website – giving information on how to become a citizen – has caused people to be met with a string of error messages.
For this who can’t access the page, you have to apply to get permanent residency in the country, usually through work or to live with family.

There has also been a surge of searches for the word “emigrate” in America over the past few hours, according to The Telegraph.
The election is still not over but Trump has outperformed what polls suggested, making him the odds on favourite to win.
