TORONTO — While a growing number of Americans may be considering moving north to Canada to escape Donald Trump, an immigration lawyer says few will actually qualify to live and work here. “Since Trump, we are seeing many more immigration applicants wanting to leave the U.S. for a more liberal Canada,” Toronto-based immigration lawyer Jacqueline Bart told CTVNews.ca. “Most of the Americans seeking to move to Canada are liberal middle-aged Americans,” Bart said. The same year, 10,415 U.S. citizens were granted permanent residency status in Canada, while 9,243 U.S.-born people became Canadian citizens. “Although there has been significant interest in moving to Canada, many don’t easily qualify,” Bart said.
