00:00Following the U.S. presidential election, Google's searches for moving to Canada spiked again,
00:05as many Americans expressed a desire to move north after Donald Trump's victory.
00:10The surge in searches like how to move to Canada peaked, particularly in states that supported

00:21smoothly this time. However, while some Americans are seriously considering the move, Fortune
00:26magazine warns that Canada's immigration process remains challenging, and life there isn't the
00:31utopia many expect. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently announced a reduction in
00:35immigration targets, adding further hurdles for potential movers. Although the number of
00:40Americans seeking permanent residency has risen slightly since Trump's first election,
00:45it's far from the mass migration some might anticipate.
